aThe given cluster is significantly different from the Short Message Histories cluster at the .05 level.

bThe given cluster is significantly different from the Assignment-Focused cluster at the .05 level.

cSignificant at the .05 level.

dFisher’s Exact Test was performed because the gender variable is categorical and had expected cell values of less than 5 (please refer back to the Methods section for more detail).

eNot applicable.

fThe given cluster is significantly different from the Pain-Focused cluster at the .05 level.

gThe given cluster is significantly different from the Activity-Focused cluster at the .05 level.
