Note: Parameter = behavioral indicators compared between the two groups. See the text for an explanation for each parameter. High, Low = means of parameters for the high- and low-involvement groups, with standard deviations in parentheses. diff = difference between the high-involvement group and the low-involvement group. lowerCI, upperCI = lower and upper boundary of 95% confidence intervals of the difference. df, t, p = degrees of freedom, t value and p value from the Welch’s t-tests. P values were corrected for multiple comparisons using the Holm-Bonferroni method. lnBF = the natural logarithm of Bayes factors. g = Hedges’s average g.
