- Note Rows present the effect of predictors on ratings of TUT (task-unrelated thought, 1 = completely on-task to 4 = completely off-task) from Study 2. Predictors included News (general news consumption, no news consumption as the reference category), task motivation (1 = not motivated at all to 5 = extremely motivated), and day (day-in-study from 1 to 10). The model also included a random effect of participant on the intercept. Analysis of variances was tested through Type III Wald chi-square tests. Residuals passed assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance
- β standardized parameter, b unstandardized parameter, SE standard error of the estimate. 95% CI 95% confidence interval associated with the unstandardized parameter, UB upper bound, LB lower bound, Χ2 (1) chi-squared test statistic associated with comparison between the current model and a null model without the predictor of interest (1 degree of freedom), p p-value associated with the chi-squared test statistic
