Note. All behavioral anxiety indicators were rated on 3-point scales. For each behavioral anxiety indicator, means marked with different superscripts are significantly different from each other at the p < .05 level. Means marked with the same superscript are not significantly different from each other. Analyses do not compare means across indicators.
