  1. Note. F-test statistics of main and first order interaction effects with net cortisol and root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) in interbeat intervals as respective dependent variables. Independent variables: Time Point of measurement, Day Day of measurement, Type tutor type (AaLplus, n = 36, vs. sonography, n = 24), Exp tutor experience (senior, n = 32 vs. novice tutors, n = 28). Mauchly tests for sphericity: Net cortisol: All W’s < .79, p’s ≤ .001; RMSSD: All W’s < .68, p’s < .001. Within-subject factor statistics corrected for nonsphericity (where appropriate) using the Huynh-Feldt procedure, F F-statistic, df (corrected) numerator and denominator degrees of freedom, p p-value
