Figure 2. Bubble plot of effect estimates for significant associations.
Note: Medium bubbles represent sample sizes between 50 and 300; small bubbles represent sample sizes <50. Graph depicting a range of mostly significant negative correlations (r) for studies assessing general relationships as compared to those assessing specific relationships which are shown to significantly correlate positively with self-awareness.
Figure 3. Effect direction plot summarizing direction of the associations between self-awareness and relationship quality.
Note: Effect direction: upward arrow ▴ = positive association between awareness and relationship quality on ≥70% of correlations reported, downward arrow ▾ = negative association on ≥70% of correlations reported, sideways arrow ◄► = direction not consistent for ≥70% of correlations reported or insufficient information; sample size: medium arrow ▴ 50–300; small arrow ▴ < 50; study quality: green = highest quality studies on MMAT ratings; amber = No or Can’t tell in one or more areas (see Table 3). Figure depicting more negative associations between self-awareness and quality of relationships when general relationships are assessed compared to more positive correlations when specific relationships are assessed. Studies assessing general relationships are of higher methodological quality.
