†: Item scored as percentage ‡: Item scored from 1 to 5

R2: R-squared value Beta: Regression coefficient SE: Standard error

* Regression coefficient is significant (p-value ≤ .05) ** Regression coefficient is highly significant (p-value ≤ .001) hrs/w: hours per week

The composite-level percentage of responses is the average of composite item percentages
