aAll reliabilities were computed using the Spearman–Brown prophecy formula, rSB = k × r/(1 + (k – 1) × r), where r is the test–retest correlation and k the correction factor, which is 2 in all cases (i.e., same number of items in Sessions 1 and 2). Correlations between sessions (Pearson’s r) are reported in parentheses.
