  1. N = 91 (time 2); for age, gender, and semester, N = 105. Cronbach’s alphas are presented on the diagonal. Convergent correlations are set in bold. For all scales, higher values indicate higher agreement
  2. aScale ranges from 1 to 7
  3. bScale ranges from 1 to 9
  4. cScale ranges from 1 to 5
  5. dGender: 1 = male, 2 = female
