* p < .05

** p < .01

*** p < .001. Wald tests were conducted only on fixed effects. Var = variance.

+The solution of this model resulted in a singular covariance matrix, but the solution provided by the nlme package in R [47] was admissible and results were practically the same. Therefore, original results were presented.
