            Figure 2                                            The sample now has 105 participants.

                                                                Residual  deviations  range  from  -0.42871  to  0.39180.
                                                                The AIC value is 480.56 and the residual deviation value
                                                                is  2.5263  for  97  degrees  of  freedom.  The  suitability

            Then,  these  three  observations  were  removed  from  the   The set of covariates and their coefficients obtained with
            model and the gamma model was adjusted again (Table 3).   the newly adjusted model are shown in Table 4.

            In this new adjustment, three covariates were eliminated,   Figure 3
            namely, age, lying, and the total number of hits of the   Representation  of  the  Residuals  of  the  New  Adjusted
            attention task. With this new adjustment, there were now   Model
            four significant covariates: anxiety symptoms, characters
            processed in the attention task, errors by omission, and
            errors by marking irrelevant characters in the attention
            task.  Residual  deviations  range  from  -0.43140  to
            0.37738.  The  AIC  value  is  475.34  and  the  residual
            deviation value is 2.5450 with 100 degrees of freedom.
            The value of p-value=1 and, for this reason, it is accepted
            that this model is adequate. The analysis of the model’s
            residuals  (Figure 3)  shows  that  the  residuals  are
            distributed around 0, which indicates that this model fits
            well with this data set.
            Comparing  this  model  with  the  previously  adjusted
            model, this model turns out to be better than the previous
            one for this dataset.
