***p < .001. The model was run in the absence of the intercept term (means as outcomes multilevel model). Subscripts a through e refer to experimental manipulations 1 through 5. The presence of two or more subscripts indicates significant differences in outcome variables across the two conditions. †Family wise error was adjusted using the Benjamini-Hochberg correction with a false discovery rate (FDR) equal to the level of significance (i.e., 5%). All significant effects remained after the FDR correction.
