Table 3. Coefficients for analyses of Stage 1 dependent variables (Self-rated variables).

	Dependent Variable
	Positive Emotions	Negative Emotions	Competence/Control	Autonomy	Relatedness
1. Full model test:Support Request X Support Type X Author country(γ31)	γ31 = -0.00 (.80) ns	γ31 = 1.79 (.63) **	γ31 = -1.19 (1.23) ns	γ31 = -0.86 (1.14) ns	γ31 = -0.98 (1.02) ns
2. 2-way interactions (computed separately if full model is ns)Support Request X Author country(γ11)	γ11 = 0.78 (.29) *		γ11 = 0.55 (.31) p = .07	γ11 = 0.73 (.41) p = .08	γ11 = 0.57 (.30) p = .06
3. Support Type X Author country(γ11)	γ11 = 0.68 (.35) p = .06		γ11 = 0.64 (.41) p = .12	γ11 = 1.08 (.49) *	γ11 = 0.24 (.37) ns

Note: For simple slopes analyses, see Fig 1.

* p < = .05

** p < .005.

For competence/control, we also observed a significant main effect for Author Country, γ₀₁ = -0.87 (.24) **, such that American authors rated their competence/control higher than Japanese. US: United States; Jpn: Japan
