  1. Parameter estimates for delay/probability discounting of gains and frequency of flossing. Discounting of gains are in top half of the table, discounting of losses is in the bottom path of the table. The intercept is the mean of discounting at the group that responded as flossing at least daily. Daily flossing is the reference for other parameter estimates in so far that each estimate that is not the intercept represents a mean increase or decrease from the group that responded as flossing at least daily
  2. *Estimate is significant from daily flossers at the 0.05 level
  3. **Estimate is significant from daily flossers at the 0.01 level
  4. ***Estimate is significant from daily flossers at p < 0.001. SE: Standard error. Note that the intercept being significant simply refers to AUCord for daily flossing being significantly different from zero
