Table 2.
MANOVA results for post-hoc analyses of the interaction between age group (Young Adult or YA; Middle Adulthood or MA, and Older Adult or OA) and connection (df between=2, df within = 139 for all statistics reported). Contrasts are represented in columns 4–6 by the mean difference in z-transformed correlation coefficients between groups (p-value in parentheses).
