Bold indicates effects significant at p = 0.05 level.

a

Severity of OCD was measured by YBOCS (N = 27), severity of HD was measured by SIR (N = 15), and severity of PTSD was measured by CAPS.

b

Extreme outliers with inverse temperature greater than 3 SD above the subsample means; excluded from analyses that involved inverse temperature parameter.

c

Extreme outliers were excluded.
