Quantitative pattern	Qualitative theme	Integration type	Interpretation
↓ SCL-90 total score (large effect)	Bodily loosening	Convergence	Symptom reduction accompanied by experiential relief of physical tension

↑ Physical status index	Everyday self-regulation	Convergence	Quantified physical improvement explained by qualitative reports of strategy transfer

↔ Psychoticism (ns)	Absent in qualitative data	Divergence	No evidence of effect on psychotic symptoms; intervention targets stress-related
