Notes.

Pearson correlations between participants’ LOLS scores and other variables (95% Confidence Intervals in brackets; 2-t p-values in parentheses; significant p-values in bold). For completeness, the correlations are also shown for each of the two conditions, along with the z-score and associated 2-t p-values comparing the correlations in each condition.
