Note. Covariates not meeting a minimum p<.20 cutoff have been removed for clarity. High BP = participant medical diagnosis of hypertension (1=no; 2=yes); Time = each minute of the DMAT which accounts for a linear change in BP across the 7-minute task; Anxiety = average attachment anxiety item-score; Immediacy = composite score of standardized LIWC variables I, discrepancy, present tense verbs, and the inverse score of article and six letter words.
