Note. Different superscripts are indicative of group differences at the p < .01 level. Group differences were tested using ANOVA. Age was handled as a continuous variable in the hierarchical regression analysis, but age breakdown is presented in this table for transparency. Education level appears skewed because most of the participants were still young and in school and could not have obtained intermediate or high education level yet.
