TABLE 4.

Acceptance of UKD. Correlations between the acceptance score were calculated against a selection of variables from the questionnaire. Where items were both continuous, the correlation coefficient was estimated by the Pearson method. For ordinal and binary items the correlation coefficient was estimated by the polyserial method. Note that the Bonferroni adjusted critical value for p is reduced from p < 0.05 to p < 0.003. Acceptance scores were not related to demographic variables. They were, however, related to some variables relating to perceived resource use and more negative views regarding psychological motivations for wanting to donate.
