Question Items Mean (SD) Q1. (Collaboration-optional) 3.38 (1.37) Q2. (Collaboration-required) 3.23 (1.27) Q3. (quickness-to-collaborate-optional) Q4. (quickness-to-collaborate-required) 3.31 (1.11) 4.5 (1.29) Note: Mean scores are based on a scale from 1 to 5.
The age of the students was varied thus: only 4 students were 26 or younger; 38 of them were 26 to 35, 44 students were 36 to 45 years old, 27 were 45 to 55, and 8 students were age 56 or higher. Students were almost equally distributed concerning courses they have completed, with 25 (20%) of them having finished 0 to 3 courses, 36 (31%) having taken 4 to 6 courses, 31(25%) having taken 7 to 9 courses, and 29 (24%) having completed 10 or more courses.
All 121 students answered the four questions that were adapted from the MBSS. Each question has four choices exemplifying monitors and four exemplifying blunters. The mean score for monitors was 8.88 (SD = 2.65). Figure 1 illustrates the distribution of scores of monitors.

The MBSS scale also yielded the scores representing blunters. The mean score for blunters was 4.12 (SD = 2.17). Figure 2 demonstrates the histograms of “blunters”.
