OR = Odds ratio; NAB = Neuropsychological Assessment Battery; IGT = Iowa Gambling Task; AG = Age Group; PK = Prior Knowledge; PS = Past Susceptibility; LH = Lab vs. Home. For categorical predictor variables, reference groups are younger (Age Group), no prior knowledge of phishing (Prior Knowledge), no past phishing susceptibility (Past Susceptibility), no difference between lab and home (Lab vs. Home), female (Sex), non-Hispanic (Ethnicity), and Caucasian (Race).
