Standard errors of the coefficients are in parentheses; unadjusted control group means are based on items with scaled (0–100) responses. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; and ***p < 0.001. Beta (β) represents the coefficient from an OLS regression estimating the impact of receiving the pride-based affirmation on the outcome. ^ΔCalculated using the 25% of the sample randomized to receive the fear of judgment scale after the randomized affirmation or control task. ^aHousehold income does not account for household size. Low income < $30,000; medium income $30,000; and ≤$74,999 high income. ^bFear of judgment is measured via a 10-item scale adapted from Vogel et al. (2006); scores for each item were added to create a composite score. The split sample is based on the sample mean. ^cTrouble meeting monthly expenses is measured via one item: “During a typical month, how often do you worry about meeting monthlyexpenses?”.
