  1. Correlations are based on 500 observations (those with education are based on 497 observations due to three missing values). Significant correlations (p < 0.05) are presented in bold. Correlations with absolute value of r > 0.088 are significant at p < 0.05, values of r > 0.116 are significant at p < 0.01, and correlations of r > .0.147 are significant at p < 0.001
