Note: Primary scales for each higher-order scale are listed under their higher-order scale and are denoted by an indent. Bold type indicates that the F-test for the scale was significant at the corrected p-value (.017 for higher-order scales; .005 for primary scales). Differences are reported only for comparisons made following a significant F-test at the corrected p-value; means in the same row that do not share a subscript differ at p < .05 in the least significant difference comparison.
