Note: Distraction: overall F (7, 96) = 5.16, p < .001; Step 1: R² = .26, p < .001; Step 2: ΔR² = .01, ns. Physical comfort seeking: overall F (7, 96) = 5.17,p <.001; Step 1: R² = .19, p < .001; Step 2: ΔR² = .05, p < .05. Self-soothing: overall F(7, 96) = 5.13, p < .001; Step 1: R² = .20, p < .001; Step 2: ΔR² = .04, p < .05.
