  2. aGrand-mean centered. bGender: 1 = male, 2 = female. cAll activities were coded with 1 = activity currently pursued, 0 = activity not pursued. dChange in model fit refers to change from unconditional model to model 1. Models M2a to M2f include age, gender, chronic RF as person-level predictors, and one activity for each analysis separately. For models M2a to M2f estimates of residual variances as well as deviance statistics represent the ranges of results. All intercepts, level 1 residual variances as well as level 2 residual variances differ significantly from zero (p < .001)
