R2: R-squared value Beta: Regression coefficient SE: Standard error yrs.: years.
hrs/w: hours per week * Regression coefficient is significant (p-value ≤ .05) ** Regression coefficient is highly significant (p-value ≤ .001).
The composite-level percentage of responses is the average of composite item percentages.
