There was modest evidence that EXT status was predicted by anger (only one effect out of six was significant, and an additional effect was marginal). However, two of six regressions were significant and two more were marginal for T3 sadness. In each case. INT (versus EXT) status was predicted by higher sadness. Thus, INT and EXT were fairly equivalent in their relation with anger whereas INT status was associated with sadness at T3.
