Table 2 presents the independent weighted mean effect sizes between the personality disorders and the domains of the FFM from the current analysis. For ease of comparison, the original values reported in Saulsman and Page (2005) are also provided in this table. A glance at the values within Table 2 suggests that the patterns of correlations within these two separate analyses are quite similar. However, to provide a more empirical comparison, the values down each column, specifying the relationship between a given FFM domain and the PDs, were correlated across the two meta-analyses to arrive at an estimate of similarity. These similarity correlations are presented at the bottom of each column of Table 3. The similarity values for the domains of neuroticism, extraversion, and conscientiousness were all .99, while the values for agreeableness and openness were .96 and .89, respectively. Taken together, these correlations suggest that the pattern of relationships obtained across these two meta-analyses were quite similar at the domain level.
