Three of 10 effects for the measures of EC were significant, and all indicated that EC predicted IM rather than D status. There were no significant effects for impulsivity, but 2 of 4 effects each for anger and sadness were significant. Anger and sadness predicted D rather than IM status within context. In one case (a finding for anger), the T1 and T3 predictors related in opposite directions and the finding for T3 dropped to nonsignificance when the T1 level of the predictor was not included in the regression.
