The group differences in the baseline (NL/NR) condition—in which BD participants completed proportionately more negative sentences than did the controls—remained significant when the frequency of negative thought suppression was covaried, F (2, 72) = 3.33, p = .04, d = 0.58, but dropped to a level that approached significance when success scores for negative thought suppression were covaried, F (2, 71) = 3.07, p = .05, d = 0.54.
