n.s., not significant.
a
Standardized β indicates the strength and direction of the relationship with decisional conflict.
b
Standardized β for test takers or test decliners shown only if interaction with test choice is significant (p < 0.05).
c
Standardized β for main effect shown only if interaction with test choice is not significant.
d
Only interaction is reported because perceived disagreement was measured as an interaction between norms and test choice (see Figure 1 for graphical representation).
