**

indicates statistical significance at p<0.001

Degrees of freedom are expressed below:

Overall: [F (2, 117)=19.13, p<0.001]. Post Hoc: EOD = LOD (p=0.85), EOD > C (p<0.001), LOD > C (p<0.001)

Work: [F (2, 91)=6.12, p=0.003]. Post Hoc: EOD = LOD (p=0.87) EOD > C (p=0.007), LOD > C (p=0.003)

Social and Leisure [F (2, 116)=17.02, p<0.001]. Post Hoc: EOD = LOD (p=0.97), EOD > C (p<0.001), LOD > C (p<0.001).

Extended Family: [F (2, 116)=12.88, p<0.001]. Post Hoc: EOD = LOD (p=0.48), EOD > C (p<0.001), LOD > C (p<0.001)

Marital: [F (2, 67)=2.59, p=0.08]

Parental: [F (2, 15)=0.19, p=0.83)

Family Unit: [F (2, 117)=8.05, p=0.001]. Post Hoc: EOD = LOD (p=0.85), EOD > C (p=0.001), LOD > C (p=0.001)
