These polytomous response choices were scored as 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, and 5 = Strongly Agree for negative items, and the positive-affect items were reversed for scoring so that a high score indicates high anxiety.
For these models, a four-level polytomous dependent variable was modeled based on the temporal pattern of when that behavior was reported: refrained (behavior reported in neither year one nor year two), initiated (behavior reported in year two but not year one), desisted (behavior reported in year one but not year two), and persisted (behavior reported in both year one and year two).
