Values are expressed based on correlation coefficient r; Strength of correlation coefficients (0 to 0.2: very weak, 0.2 to 0.4: weak, 0.4 to 0.6: moderate, 0.6 to 0.8 strong association and 0 to −0.2: very weak, −0.2 to −0.4: weak, −0.4 to −0.6: moderate, −0.6 to −0.8 Strong no- association).

^aCorrelation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

^bCorrelation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
