Cultural background (0 = Dutch, 1 = Hindustani) and sex (0 = male; 1 = female) were dummy-coded. Educational background was coded based on a 5-point scale (higher numbers represent higher educational level). Engagement coping combines active confronting, seeking social support, and reassuring thoughts into one composite scale. Disengagement coping combines passive reaction pattern, palliative reaction, and avoidance into one composite scale.
