* to enhance comparisons with future studies we displayed scores from our data for nonparametric as well as parametric analysis+ SSS-V-subscales and total score per group followed by results of Kruskal-Wallis-tests# Mann-Whitney-Tests were used for post-hoc-comparisons; between listed groups (i.e. AS:SB) differences were significant on a 5%- level.
