1 Responses on a scale of 1 to 4 (1: Strongly disagree; 2: Somewhat disagree; 3: Somewhat agree; 4: Strongly agree) were averaged, and mean (X) ± standard deviation (SD) and standard error of the mean (SEM) are reported. Differences in response between time-2 and time-1 were used to determine statistically significant differences from zero using a paired sample two-tailed t test. * Statistically significant difference at p < 0.05. | |||||
