SOCE, sexual orientation change efforts. S.E., standard error. Effect size, eta-squared statistic, which expresses the difference in standard deviation between the distributions prior to SOCE and following SOCE.

Numbers in parentheses report the standard error; “P”, p-value for the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for difference of two paired ordinal distributions, which expresses the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed if there was no difference between the distributions prior to SOCE and following SOCE.
