Variables were centralized by subtracting their means, so scores showed deviation from the mean.
Sample size (31 cases were excluded due to partially/completely missing data).
Forward stepwise selection was used to select interaction terms: entry and staying ; P-value less than  .05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Goodness of fit of the model: -Square = 0.4717.
