| 5 | Need for cognition | 189 | 3.46 | 0.60 | .34∗ | .35∗ | .00 | .25∗ |
*P < .05.
Note: need for cognition was recorded on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from strongly disagree, disagree, somewhat agree, agree, to strongly agree. Activity engagement was also recorded on a 5-point scale and recoded in days per annum (i.e., every day = 365; every other day = 182; every week = 52; once or twice a month = 18; never = 0).
