to 2; (2) greater than 2 and less than or equal to 3; (3) greater than 3 but less than or equal to 4; and (4) greater than 4. Negative affect was recoded to: (1) equal to 1; (2) greater than 1 and less than or equal to 2; (3) greater than 2 and less than or equal to 3; and (4) greater than 3. The number of classes was not pre-specified or pre-defined but rather was determined using the Lo-Mendell-Rubin (LMR) adjusted likelihood ratio test.
