Table showing the posterior probability density over β (the coefficient relating self-report measure severity to low demand choices) that each self-report measure is associated with decreases (i.e., negative <0; more mental effort) or increases (i.e. positive >0; less mental effort) in demand avoidance. The more the posterior probability density is <0 or >0, the higher the probability that there is a relationship between the measure and the expression of mental effort.
