χ2 for overall model and p values for significance of variable in model are presented

Model 1: covariates only (see METHODS)

Model 2: motivation variables separately in model with covariates

Model 3: stepwise regression of motivation measures and covariates

Model 4: motivation variables added together in a single model with covariates

Model 5: motivation variables added separately to a model including Likely
