†Total wellness was determined by calculating the percentage scores from the life tasks, including spirituality, self-regulation, work and leisure, friendship, and love. ‡ Total Self-Regulation was determined by calculating the percentage scores from (Sense of Worth through Cultural Identity scales). A Cohen d value of 0.8 or greater indicates a large effect size.
