^†β values of the estimated coefficients of the explanatory variables indicating a change on response variable (BO, STS, CS) caused by a unit change of respective explanatory variable, keeping all the other explanatory variables constant. A negative β value implies that an increase in the independent variable's value leads to reduction in the dependent variable, whilst a positive β value implies that an increase in the independent variable's value leads to an increase in the dependent variable. The influence is expressed through units of standard deviation (SD).

Significant results appear in bold and are marked with asterisks as follows:
