Global Assessment	Frequencies			M	SD	Subsets
Global Assessment	Negative	Neutral	Positive	M	SD	Subsets
Continuity	13%	8%	79%	4.0	1.0	a
Access	25%	16%	59%	3.5	1.2	b

Note. Frequency distributions are organized as follows: negative ratings (below 3), neutral (3), and positive (above 3). All tests were paired-samples t-tests with df = 241–242, the Bonferroni-corrected α for 10 related tests is .05/10 = .005. Two dimensions that share a subset do not differ; two dimensions that do not share any subsets differ significantly
