|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| COM themes | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | F | p | η2 |
| Capability | 4.42 (±0.71) a | 2.87 (±0.92) b | 2.57 (±0.93) c | 2230.83 | <0.001 | 0.50 |
| Social opportunity | 3.68 (±0.74) a | 2.72 (±0.81) b | 2.59 (±0.80) c | 887.93 | <0.001 | 0.28 |
| Cat welfare motivation | 3.84 (±0.81) a | 2.64 (±0.80) b | 2.45 (±0.82) c | 1246.06 | <0.001 | 0.36 |

Notes: Mean scores for COM themes using scale: 1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree. Means with different superscripts (in rows) differ significantly at p < 0.05 Tukey HSD. η2 (partial eta squared) = effect size.
