Bold entries indicate effects with 95% credible intervals excluding zero. Pr(β > 0) is the posterior probability that the coefficient is positive; for negative effects, Pr(β < 0) = 1 − Pr(β > 0). Models fitted using Bayesian Beta regression with Student-t(3, 0, 2.5) priors. MSE, Mathematics Self-Esteem; MTAI, Mathematics Test Anxiety Inventory; MAT, Mathematics Achievement Test.
