Spearman correlation coefficients indicated that the pretest measures correlated more strongly with their corresponding measures at posttest (diagonal values in the lower left quadrant; 0.341 ≤ |r| ≤ 0.594, italic) than with the other measures (off-diagonal values in the lower left quadrant; 0.001 ≤ |r| ≤ 0.243), ensuring convergent and discriminant validity (Rios and Wells, 2014). nsp > 0.05; *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001.
