The length of the car ride varied between participants, such that the recoded time of the home sample ranged from –1.25 to –0.125 (from 50 min to 5 min before arrival). The average amount of time spent in the car (M = 18.6 min, recoded as –.47 units) is presented above; however, in hierarchical linear modeling analyses, Time 1 duration was allowed to vary for each individual.
