Values are means with standard deviations in parentheses. T−tests were conducted to compare differences in means between males and females within each scenario and for all participants’ scores between Scenarios 1 and 2 Means sharing the same superscript (a, b, c) in the same row are significantly different at p < .05 with a Bonferroni correction for 18 multiple comparisons (P < .0028 = .05/18). ∗Cohen's d effect size for the change from Scenario 1 to Scenario 2 for all participants.
