Notes:

Based on 43 recordings of a 20-minute encounter with delivery rated low in MI spirit (x > 3 on Likert scale).

Intercept corresponds to the 1st quartile interval of the encounter.

Early-session trajectory corresponds to subsequent quartile intervals of the encounter.

Late-session trajectory corresponds to final quartile interval of the encounter.

R:Q computed as (Total Reflections)/(Total Questions).
