**p < .01., ***p < .001. Statistical significance indicates the effect size estimate is significantly different from zero. Note. n = the number of effect size estimates in each category, of the predictor variable; ES = effect size; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. ^aQ_B (2) = 3.01, p = .22; Q_W (102) = 96.39, p = .64. ^bQ_B (2) = 1.23, p = .54; Q_W (35) = 35.78, p = .43.
