Note: MI = Maximizing Inventory; REI = Rational-Experiential Inventory.
Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).
Scale dimensions (higher numbers indicate more of an attribute): MI-Decision Difficulty (1 to 6); MI-Alternative Search (1 to 6); MI-Satisficing (1 to 6); REI-Rational (0 to 4); REI-Experiential (0 to 4); Intolerance of Ambiguity (1 to 6); Need for Cognition (1 to 6); Objectivism (1 to 5); Cognitive Reflection Task (0 to 3); Regret.
*Bonferroni adjustment was applied to the correlational analysis. The correlation between regret and satisficing tendency without the Bonferroni correction is significant at p = 0.0205.
