Table 2 Significant (p≤0.005) Pearson’s correlations between SDS items and Recent Life Stress or Childhood Stress for the s-present subgroup (n=184)

Table 3 Significant (p≤0.005) Pearson’s correlations between SDS items and Recent Life Stress or Childhood Stress for the s-absent subgroup (n=65)

Figure 1 Major (beta weights) SDS items contributing to Recent Life Stressor and Childhood Stressor scores for participants carrying 5HTTLPR s-variant versus participants not carrying 5HTTLPR s-variant. A = s is present; B = s is absent.
