10. Conviction throughout the recession
Significant decrease as recession
progressed
β = -.01, t (1466) = -9.06, p< .0005
r2 = .05, F (1, 1466) = 82.16, p< .0005
Originally presented at SGCP 2010 – London, UK

11. The effect on time on task
Mid-level Conviction:
β = -.20, t (472) = -4.60 p < .0005
Lower-level Conviction:
β = -.22, t (212) = -2.95 p = .003
Overall regression model:
r2 = .35, F (1, 1440) = 260.70, p< .0005
