Two-way mixed effects model where people effects are random and measures effects are fixed.

a. The estimator is the same, whether the interaction effect is present or not.

b. Type A intra-class correlation coefficients using an absolute agreement definition.

Dependent Variable: Satisfaction with visual appearance of genitalia

Tests the null hypothesis that the error variance of the dependent variable is equal across groups.

a. Design: Intercept + Age + Marital status + Multiplicity of sexual partners + Labia + Pubic patch + Labia * Pubic patch

Dependent variable: Satisfaction with visual appearance of genitalia

a. This parameter is set to zero because it is redundant.

b. Computed using alpha = .05
