### Coding {.unnumbered}

This questionnaire used the standard response scale for agreement

`No items are reverse coded`

### Scoring

The following variables are derived from this measure:

```{r, echo=FALSE}
kbl(pttab, booktabs = T) %>%
             kable_styling(full_width = T,
                           fixed_thead = T) %>%
             column_spec(1, width = "3cm") %>%
             column_spec(2, width = "3cm") %>%
             column_spec(3, width = "3cm") %>%
             column_spec(4, width = "3cm") %>%
             column_spec(5, width = "3cm")
