Post-hoccomparisons using the Turkey HSD test indicated that those in control group (M = 8.07; SD=2.47) scored significantly (p<0.01)higher on the BDI than those in both the threat (M = 8.49; SD=2.40) and challenge groups (M = 14.41; SD=2.91). However, the BDI scores of participants within the threat and challenge groups did not differ significantly (p>.05).
