Table 1 Demographic characteristics of randomized assignment of participants to control and experimental groups. No significant group differences were observed with respect to the parameters listed below. P-Values given refer to Kruskal–Wallis statistics. Abbreviations: (S-S: Safety-Safety condition; T-T: Threat-Threat condition; S-T: Safety-Threat condition, T-S: Threat-Safety condition. Values listed refer to medians and interquartile ranges; N = Sample size; M = Male, F = Female, D = Divers; Education = Highest graduation or academic degree: Lowest = 1:No graduation, Highest: 8: Doctorate degree; DASS: Depression Anxiety Stress Scales; n.s. = not significant).
