  1. Masterm = Mastermind; CV = Cramer’s V; SES = Socioeconomic status
  2. Data are shown as n (%) and above the expected values. In column direction, figures with the same exponent in each column are significantly different (p < .05). For example: regarding the Believer variable, 22.9% is significantly different from 31.3% and 45.8%, they have the same exponent; 16.0%, 36.4%, and 47.6% are not significantly different; they have different exponents. In the row direction, variables relationships are given by the X2 in parentheses
