and post-intervention MPAC subscale items had zero variance and so were excluded<br />
from reliability analyses: one item was excluded from the pre-intervention analysis f<strong>or</strong><br />
the Positive Responses to Frustration, Conflict, and Other Emotionally Arousing<br />
Situations subscale; and one item was excluded from post-intervention analyses f<strong>or</strong> both<br />
the Positive Affect and Unproductive, Unfocused Use <strong>of</strong> Personal Energy subscales; and<br />
several items were excluded from both pre- and post-intervention analyses f<strong>or</strong> the<br />
Negative Affect, Inappropriate Affect, Lapses in Impulse Control and Negative<br />
Responses to Frustration, Conflict, and Other Emotionally Arousing Situations, and<br />
Unusual Behavi<strong>or</strong> subscales.<br />
