differences between Groups 1 and 3, and Groups 2 and 3 on the TAS-20, at the p < .01 level (see
Table 26).
As seen with previous analyses, these findings for the overall sample were not consistent
when various subgroups were analyzed using the same analyses. For example, there were no
differences between the three experiential avoidance groups (multiple EA, single EA, and no
EA) on any of the experiential avoidance measures when male participants and academy
participants were analyzed separately (see Table 26). However, all other analyses for the female
subgroup were significant (see Table 26), and effect sizes were large for the AFQ-Y (ip2 = .15),
the WBSI (ip2 .27) and the TAS-20 (ip2 = .24). In addition, it is interesting to note that whereas
the AFQ-Y and WBSI differed significantly as a function of the number of experiential
avoidance behaviors for urban high school participants (flp2 .28 and .33, respectively; see Table
26), this was not the case with rural school participants (AFQ-Y differences not significant;
WBSI ip2= .21, and TAS-20 ip2= .26). It was evident that there were no consistently significant
Tukey HSD post-hoc tests among the three sites (see Table 26).
Hypothesis 4b - Continuous analysis. A second way the relationship between experiential
avoidance self-reports and functionally equivalent, experiential avoidance behaviors was
analyzed was through the use of hierarchical multiple regression (HMR). HMR was used to
evaluate the variance accounted for by different types of experiential avoidance (e.g., WBSI
mean score as a measure of thought suppression) on actual experiential avoidance behaviors
(e.g., Eating Disorder T scores). The total number of experiential avoidance behaviors served as
the dependent variable, which was calculated by summing the presence/absence of each of the
following: RSM Status Score of 4, significant elevations on the APS-SF Eating Disturbance
(EAT), Substance Abuse (SUB), and Suicide (SUI) clinical scales (total range = 0 to 4). Mean64
