I’m not too clear on how to interpret hierarchical model coefficients, but they do give at least one description of effect size, on pg6:
These associations revealed clinically meaningful differences in weight.
For example, participants who scored in the top 10% of Neuroticism’s
Impulsiveness weighed, on average, over 11 Kg more than those
who scored in the lowest 10% of this trait. Likewise, participants
who scored high on Conscientiousness’s Order weighed about 4.5 Kg less than those who scored low on Order.
and pg8:
In addition, the emotional aspects of impulsivity (N5: Impulsiveness and E5: Excitement-Seeking) were also associated with greater increases in adiposity. For example, on average, at age 30, those who scored one standard deviation above the mean on impulsivity had a BMI that was approximately 2.30 points higher than those who scored one standard deviation below the mean on this trait. By age 90, this gap increased to a 5.22 BMI point difference (see Figure 3).

Thanks. Those differences are small compared to common differences of BMI, though.
Well, yeah, you should’ve expected that from the small correlations.
I don’t have much knowledge of statistics. You may have forgotten what that’s like.
