Determining optimal parameters of the Self Referent Encoding Task: A large-scale examination of self-referent cognition and depression

This file is one of a series of supplemental explanatory documents for the study “Determining optimal parameters of the Self Referent Encoding Task: A large-scale examination of self-referent cognition and depression”. Data and code are located at doi: 10.18738/T8/XK5PXX, and websites with visual R Markdown explanations are located and navigable on the paper’s github pages website.

Data description

This code looks at the correlations for the outcome variables of the SRET, for all three samples. If you are viewing this as an HTML file, and wish to see the code, please download the R Markdown file from the Texas Data Repository. It includes HTML tables and a graphical expression of correlations using the library corrplot.
