Table 2 Group level summary statistics for acute effects. N = 22; To allow comparison with previous datasets mean ± SD for all group level scores of the applied questionnaires are provided. For the 5D-ASC, the ASC in its 11 factor analysis, MEQ, CEQ scores, we performed one sample t-tests (df = 21) against zero and provide p-values. Please note that data is reported in its completeness and raw significance values are reported instead of significance thresholding. The scores of the ASC, MEQ and CEQ are designed to assess differences from zero, while the PCI items are anchored with two opposing statements (See “Methods”) to the end of the scale [0: minimum; 6: maximum], therefore not being tested against zero.
