These odds ratios indicate that each one point increase in Neuroticism is equal to an 8.6% and 4.5% increase in the likelihood of major and minor depression, respectively, and that each point decrease in Conscientiousness is equal to 4.9% and 4.6% increase in their respective likelihood of major and minor depression, respectively. By raising odds ratios to a power equal to the standard deviation (10), we can determine that a standard deviation increase in Neuroticism was related to a 2.28 and 1.55 increases the likelihood of major and minor depression, respectively. Likewise, every standard deviation increase in Conscientiousness was related to a 0.60 and 0.62 factor decrease in the likelihood of major and minor depression, respectively.
