Table 3 presents the independent mean effect size correlations for each personality disorder and FFM facet relationship. When the results are viewed vertically they specify the relationship between a given personality disorder and the facets of the FFM. When the results are viewed horizontally they specify the relation between each facet and the ten DSM-IV-TR personality disorders. Due to the large number of studies and high total n of the samples, virtually all values within this table are significant at p < .05. In fact, values as low as |.07| are significant at p < .0001. Cohen (1992) has suggested that for studies within the social sciences a correlation effect size of .10 is small, .30 is medium, and .50 is large. While most of the effects in the current study may be classified as small by this heuristic, those small effects remain quite meaningful. Nonetheless, in the current study we elect to take a somewhat more conservative route when interpreting results as well as facilitate comparison to the earlier analyses of Saulsman and Page (2004). For this reason, the
