aEffect sizes Cohen’s d: 0.80 or higher is a large effect size, 0.50–0.79 a medium effect size and 0.20–0.49 small. Effect sizes less than 0.20 are negligible (Cohen, 1988). bP-values were adjusted into false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) method (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995)
