FR happiness without BLC also negatively correlated with donations ( r s = −0.66, CI [−0.83; −0.34], p < 0.001), only slightly weaker than FR happiness with BLC ( r s = −0.79, CI [−0.90; −0.57], p < 0.001); however, the difference between the correlation coefficients did not reach statistical significance: Δ| r | = 0.13, bootstrap CI [−0.07; 0.39], p = 0.171.
