From: Delay discounting, probability discounting, and interdental cleaning frequency
Boxplots of delay (left panel) and probability (right) discounting organized by frequency of flossing (x-axes) from Experiment 1. Discounting was calculated using area under the curve with ordinal scaling (AUCord; see text for more details). Higher AUCord values for delay discounting indicate higher preference for the delayed outcome (i.e., lower impulsivity), whereas lower values of AUCord for probability discounting indicate higher preference for the certain option (i.e., lower riskiness). Squares represent the mean AUCord, horizontal black lines represent the median, bottoms and tops of boxes represent the 25th and 75th percentiles respectively, and whiskers are 1.5 times interquartile range. Self-reported flossing frequency; Da: At least once a day. We: At least once a week. Mo: At least once a month. BiAn: At least once in 6 months. An: At least once a year. < An: Less than once a year. *Statistically significant decreases from mean AUCord of daily flossing at α = 0.05. Note that there were no significant increases from daily flossing
