Based on the ratings of all four raters, i.e., a total of 184 ratings per scale; address 1, perceiving the here-and-now quality of the crying; address 2, exploring emotions; address 3, contextualizing the crying in an actively therapeutic manner; giving 1, pause; giving 2, letting narrate; neutral 1, providing support in an actively therapeutic manner; neutral 2, exploring facts; neutral 3, initiating a change of topic/ending the session; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficients; amodel, 2-way random, mean measures, absolute agreement; bICC based on three raters only, since the fourth rater never rated this scale higher than 0; M, mean; SD, standard deviation; *p<.05; **p<.01; ***p<.001.
