  1. \(^\text {a}\)Reliability estimates are Cronbach’s alphas in case of MAAS scores and split-half reliabilites for SART and ES measures. Split-half estimates are Spearman-Brown corrected and were derived using a permutation-based approach with 5000 random splits57. \(^\text {b}\)MAAS total score included all 15 items in EPP, but only 14 items (excluding item 6) in the GUP. 95% CI \(=\) 95% confidence interval, SD \(=\) standard deviation.
