  1. OR: Odds ratios, 95% CI: 95% confidence interval
  2. Numbers in bold print are significant at p ≤ .05
  3. aEstimated parameters are Odds Ratios towards the omitted factor level (reference category) of the concerning variable
  4. bOdds Ratio estimate is for every increase of 1 unit in the variable score above the group mean score (see Table 1)
  5. cSamples are sub-samples of those in the first column
