Table 3.

Bivariate correlations coefficients and Bayes Factors (BF) for all Pearson correlation between variables. FTND = Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Smoking-specific refers to smoking health risks not linked to COVID-19.

Significance levels are signalled thus: p < .1 = ; p < .05 = *; p < .01 = **; p < .001 = ***. Bayes factors are reported for all correlation coefficients. Bayes factors were calculated using a default stretched beta prior of 1 in JASP. Bayes factors above 3 denote moderate evidence for the experimental hypothesis, below .33 denotes moderate evidence for the null. Between .33 and 3 denotes inconclusive results requiring more data (Dienes, 2014).
