Note. Standard deviations are in parenthesis below the means. The 7–9- year-old group is labeled 8 in the age group comparisons column because their mean age was approximately 8. Similarly, the 10–12- year- and the 13–17- year-old groups are labeled 11 and 16; 8, 11 > 16 means there was no difference between 8- and 11-year old, but both were higher than 16. A < .01 was considered statistically significant. |
