Note: Where omnibus tests of between group differences were significant, group-by-group comparisons were evaluated using the LSD (count variables), Games-Howell (continuous variables with unequal cell variances), or Ficher Exact (for categorical variables) po Groups with different superscripts differ at p < .05. Groups which share a common superscript do not.
