Cluster construction was based on two continuous classifiers, occupational depression and cognitive performance. Between-cluster differences pertaining to task appreciation remained statistically significant controlling for pretest mood (as well as age and sex) in analyses of covariance. We did not include a Bonferroni correction given the controversies surrounding its use (e.g., Perneger, 1998). ANOVA, analysis of variance; df, degrees of freedom; M, mean; SD, standard deviation.
