Asterisks indicate those variables for which the overall F or x2 statistic was significant at p<0.05. Differences among groups were compared using a Chi-square test, with pairwise comparisons, or a one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc tests for pairwise comparisons. Categories within a row that do not share a common superscript were significantly different (p< 0.05).
