Values presented in this table are means and standard deviations
^aIn this table, we presented partial eta squared (\({\eta }_{p}^{2}\)) for ANOVAs to estimate the effect size. Effect sizes are indicated as small (η_p² = 0.01), medium (\({\eta }_{p}^{2}\) = 0.06), and large (\({\eta }_{p}^{2}\) = 0.14) effects
