a

Given the presence of zero cells, the chi-square test is based on White vs. non-White.

b

Given the presence of low cell sizes, Monte Carlo simulation (2000 replications) was used to calculate the p-value. As such, degrees of freedom are not applicable.

c

One individual did not provide baseline data for the daily emotion reports.
