a
N = 2,079; r > .04 (p < .05); r > .07 (p < .01), both two-tailed; all study variables presented in this table measured on a six-point response scale, where 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = slightly disagree, 4 = slightly agree, 5 = agree, and 6 = strongly agree, except as noted
b
Scale reliability (coefficient alpha)
c
Years in practice, 1 = less than one year, 2 = 1–2 years, 3 = 3–5 years, 4 = 6–10 years, 5 = 11–15 years, 6 = 16–20 years, 7 = more than 20 years
d
Highest education level, 1 = high school, 2 = associate’s degree, 3 = some college, 4 = bachelor’s degree, 5 = master’s degree, 6 = doctorate
NA = not applicable
