  2. 1The rate of those scoring higher than 3.75 on a scale of 1 to 5, from “not at all” to “to a very large extent”. 3.75 was chosen as the cut-off point between high and low in the responses on the measure in order to include those who answered on most (but not all) items either 4 (“to a large extent”) or 5 (“to a very large extent”).
