Results from primary aims are presented. Due to violation of normal distribution, bootstrap resampling was used and results are presented based on 1,000 samples (Boot p). For each significant predictor in the regression equation to control for multiplicity effects across the five behavioral variables, we used the Bonferroni-Holm method, a step down procedure in which a sequential set of tests are conducted that involve layered adjustments of alpha levels based on the number of elements remaining in the original set.
