Table 1 Daily correlation between self-expansion measures and daily steps mean (standard deviation), maximum likelihood estimated correlation found using a mixed model, and test statistic and p-value for examining the association between Fitbit average daily steps and self-expansion using a mixed effects model. N = 49 for all analyses.

From: Self-expansion is positively associated with Fitbit-measured daily steps across 4-weeks
