μ, median of posterior distribution of μ; σ, median of posterior distribution of σ; δ, median of posterior distribution of δ; HDI_μ, 95% Highest Density Interval for μ with LL, lower limit and UL, upper limit; HDI_δ, 95% Highest Density Interval for δ with LL, lower limit and UL, upper limit; % of δ > 0, percentage of the posterior distribution that is greater than the comparison value 0, i.e., no increase/decrease; % of δ < ROPE, percentage of the posterior distribution less than the lower limit; % of δ in ROPE, percentage of the posterior distribution in the interval; % of δ > ROPE, percentage of the posterior distribution higher than the upper limit; personal worries, rating of the perceived worries about personal consequences due to Covid-19; general worries, rating of the perceived worries about consequences for society due to Covid-19; risk of infection, rating of the perceived risk of contracting Covid-19; fear of infection, rating of the perceived fear of contracting Covid-19; Contrast MD vs. HC, contrast between all participants with a mental disorder (=MD; includes all groups with mental disorders from GAD to other) and healthy controls.
