Initial Pearson correlation patterned in the expected direction, where greater time since divorce was associated with lower intensity of divorce-related recollections, although this association did not quite reach significance ( r = −0.33, p = 0.065).
However, only the comparison between reappraisal and acceptance for time of maximum acceleration reached significance ( p < 0.01), with other comparisons between reappraisal and acceptance and no-instruction conditions trending toward significance ( ps < 0.10; see Figure 3 ).
Summary: descriptive pattern opposite to reappraisal Overall, the interaction between habitual acceptance and divorce distance did not reach statistical significance.
