^(a)Scores on the Attitudes Toward Osteopathic Medicine Scale (ATOMS) as the dependent variable, and personality measures as regressors.

^(b) Bivariate correlation between the ATOMS scores and other personality measures shown in the table.

^(c)Standardized regression coefficients (β) are calculated from score distributions converted to a standard distribution for all regressors with a mean of zero and standard deviation of 1 for comparability purposes.

^(d)Unstandardized regression coefficients are calculated from raw score distributions.
