Kalokerinos et al. (1) demonstrate that emotional variability, as assessed via the SD, is not significantly associated with neuroticism once the confound with mean negative emotion is controlled for, r = 0.05. To control for this confound, the authors use the relative SD (RSD), which mathematically corrects for the nonlinear dependency between the SD and the mean (2). The authors prefer the RSD over including the SD and the mean of negative emotions in a model, given the nonlinearity of their association. While we agree that the RSD is an important addition to the field, we argue that including the mean of emotions is still necessary when examining the association between neuroticism and emotion variability, to 1) sufficiently control for the confound with the mean and 2) compare the individual contribution …

当纠正均值的混淆时，神经质可能反映出情绪的变异性[社会科学]

Kalokerinos等。（1）证明，一旦控制了与平均负面情绪的混淆，r = 0.05 ，通过SD评估的情绪变异与神经质就没有显着关联。为了控制这种混淆，作者使用相对SD（RSD），该值在数学上校正了SD与均值之间的非线性相关性（2）。考虑到RSD的关联是非线性的，因此他们更喜欢RSD，而不是将SD和负面情绪的平均值包含在模型中。尽管我们同意RSD是该领域的重要补充，但我们认为，在检查神经质与情绪变异之间的关联时，仍然需要包括情绪均值，以：1）充分控制均值与混淆； 2）比较个人贡献...
