Results of logistic regression predicting whether respondents were in research-focused academic positions or teaching-focused academic positions. Full equation statistics: n = 497; accuracy = 90%; Akaike information criterion (AIC) = 274.75; likelihood ratio test χ2 = 253.05; and p = 0.0000. (Fac), variable is a result of factor analysis; Unstd. coeff., unstandardized coefficient; Adj. sig., FDR-adjusted significance. Effect sizes are labeled when they reach at least “small” size. S, small effect size; M, medium effect size; L, large effect size.
