aCramer’s V is a measure of effect size for the difference between the demographic distributions in the responders (n = 1671) vs the full sample (n = 2500). Cohen (1988) recommends that when Cramer’s V <0.10 this indicates small effects suggesting no practical difference between samples.
b Senior responders included (n = 9) students who self-reported their year in school as fifth or more (undergrad only).
