Note. Both variables in each pair were dichotomous, so each coefficient is equivalent to a phi coefficient and indexes co-endorsement of two binary items rather than a correlation between continuous measures. Confidence intervals were obtained using Fisher's z-transformation. p_FDR = p value after Benjamini–Hochberg correction across the 11 tests within each sample.
