  1. T0, baseline (pre-test); T1, bi-weekly measures of BSS at week 2; T2, bi-weekly measures of BSS at week 4; T3, post-test; BF10, Bayesian factor grading the intensity of the evidence supporting the alternative model against the null model. Ratio: This column represents the ratio (the likelihood) of the effect of time against the group, time and group and the interaction models. The time model is the denominator. The BF10 of each model has been divided by the BF10 of the time model in order to calculate the ratio of each model when compared with the time model
  2. aThe ratio for the null model was irrelevant
  3. bThe ratio of time against time is always 1
  4. cWhen the ratio is between 0 and 1, there is a weak evidence supporting the alternative model against the time model. When it is greater than 1, that means there is a stronger evidence supporting the alternative model against the time model
