Note: For rows 1–6, variables ranged from 1 (low) to 5 (high). Aggregated elaboration ranged from .33 to 3.33, and aggregated positive resolution ranged from 1 (low) to 3 (high). Factual and interpretive elaboration ranged from 0 (none) to 4 (high). Exploratory processing ranged from 0 to 3 (high). Perspective-taking, resolution/closure, and positive meaning-making ranged from 1 (low) to 3 (high).
