Note: Distraction: overall F (5, 109) = 3.25, p < .01; Step 1: R² = .08, p < .05; Step 2: ΔR² = .02, p < .10. Physical comfort seeking: overall F (5, 109) = 2.58, p <, .05; Step 1: R² = .08, p < .05; Step 2: ΔR² = .01, ns. Self-soothing: overallF (5, 109) = 4.31, p < .01; Step 1: R² = .11, p < .01; Step 2: ΔR² = .03, p < .05. Focus on delay object: overall F (5, 109) = 2.95, p < .05; Step 1: R² = .08, p < .05; Step 2: ΔR² = .02,ns.
