aDaily playtime is measured using a 1 to 6 scale. Table 1 provides further details (referenced as HR).
bDescriptive statistics of daily playtime amount per anxiety severity levels: severe anxiety (n=36; mean 3.78, SD 1.66); moderate anxiety (n=159; mean 2.99, SD 1.44); mild anxiety (n=723; mean 2.57, SD 1.33); and minimal anxiety (n=976; mean 2.55, SD 1.33).
cAll t tests were 2-tailed.
