↵a Difference between count of chosen as biggest and count of chosen as smallest, divided by the number of times attribute was available to be selected per experimental design (for this design, 5 × number of respondents). Standardized scores indicate the salience of an attribute on a scale from −1.0 to +1.0. Scores toward +1.0 indicate salience as a biggest influence on testing, scores toward −1.0 indicate salience as a smallest influence on testing, and a score of 0 indicates no salience to the decision to undergo testing.
