PAssumptions for linearity and homoscedasticity were examined and all variables
were normally distributed. Multicollinearity and singularity were assessed and
determined to be unproblematic.
Participants’ mean score on the seven-item exercise identity scale was 5.45
(SD = 1.06), on locus of causality for personal and situational conditions were 6.08
(SD = 1.52) and 4.86 (SD = 2.17), and on the personal controllability scale was
5.98 (SD = 2.16). The mean score for the sample for guilt was 5.75 (SD = 2.47)
and for shame was 4.86 (SD = 2.46).
Vignette quality/believability checks indicated the quality/believability of the
vignettes was good. The mean for the quality/believability of the vignettes was 6.96
(SD = 1.5). Further, means of participants’ percent accurate recall of the scenario
information was 64.55 (SD = 17.17).
