The effect of sex was assessed using a Mann-Whitney U-test and the other variables were tested using Spearman’s correlation analysis. We reported p-statistics at uncorrected p < 0.05 (*) and Bonferroni’s corrected p < 0.05 (**; #tests = 69) levels. Significant associations were identified based on the effect-size criteria due to the high sensitivity caused by a large sample size (Cohen, 1992): medium (in bold) and small (in Italic) effect sizes for Vargha and Delaney’s A > 0.64 or < 0.34 and > 0.56 or < 0.44 (Vargha and Delaney, 2000), and Spearman’s ρ > 0.3 and 0.1 (Ellis, 2010), respectively.
