*
Indicates strategy type excluded in analyses.
1
The mean proportion score for this strategy was .07 for older interacting pairs thus, it was included in the analysis of strategy type.
2
The mean proportion scores for younger nominal pairs was .07 and for interacting pairs was .09, thus, this strategy was included in the analysis of strategy type.
