that “as hypothesized, high dependency scores were associated with high levels of neuroticism and agreeableness” (Bornstein & Cecero, 2000, p. 335). Nevertheless, they also emphasized that the magnitude of the effect size for agreeableness was, at best, modest (i.e., .08). One of the worst effect sizes from an individual study (i.e., Dunkley, Blankstein, & Flett, 1997) was actually miscoded (it was reported to be -.32 when it was in fact .32) but even when corrected the overall effect size increases to only .10.
