  1. \(^\text {a}\)Effect sizes for the MAAS total score covariate in ANCOVAs. \(^\text {b}\)Pearson product-moment correlations between MAAS total score and the SART and ES measures. LR test \(=\) Likelihood-ratio test between ANOVA and ANCOVA models. \(\eta ^2 =\) Eta-squared effect size as proportion of variance explained by the predictor. \(r^2 =\) r-squared coefficient of determination based on the correlation coefficients, as proportion of shared variance among the two correlated variables.
