• Qwen 2.5 7B turn-wise introspective fidelity: strong at turn 1 (R²≈0.90) but declines significantly to turn 10 (∆R²=-0.44, p=0.001)finding0.821
  Introspective fidelity erodes in Qwen as conversations progress; contrasts with LLaMA-3B trend
• Gemma 3 4B-IT wellbeing introspection: ρ=0.28, isotonic R²=0.11 (LMM p=1.33×10⁻¹³)finding0.806
  Weaker but still significant introspective coupling in Gemma model; consistent with lower probe quality
• Qwen 2.5 7B-Instruct wellbeing introspection: ρ=0.49, isotonic R²=0.76 (LMM p<10⁻¹⁰)finding0.796
  Strong introspective coupling in Qwen model; demonstrates cross-family generalization of introspective capacity
• LLaMA-3.1-8B-Instruct wellbeing introspection: ρ=0.93, isotonic R²=0.90 (LMM probe slope p<10⁻¹⁰)finding0.795
  Near-ceiling introspective performance for wellbeing concept in 8B model; nearly deterministic probe-report relationship
• Interest introspection improves from 1B to 3B: ρ from 0.19 to 0.80, R² from 0.05 to 0.66finding0.791
  Largest single-step scaling improvement; demonstrates dramatic introspection gain between 1B and 3B models for interest
• Impulsivity introspective fidelity decreases from turn 1 to turn 10: ∆R²=-0.28 in LLaMA-3.2-3Bfinding0.784
  Opposite temporal trend to wellbeing/interest/focus; introspective fidelity weakens over conversation for impulsivity
• LLaMA-3.2-1B impulsivity introspection: ρ=0.21, p<10⁻⁴ (significant but weaker than 3B ρ=0.52)finding0.779
  Impulsivity shows significant introspection in 1B but declines in 8B; non-monotonic scaling
• Wellbeing introspection improves from 1B to 3B: ρ from 0.48 to 0.66, R² from 0.26 to 0.45finding0.777
  Confirms scaling trend for wellbeing concept between smallest and middle model size
