Characteristics	Mean ± SD	t/F	p	Effect Size
Psychiatry Experience
During edu (n = 206)	2,68 ± 1,16^ab	F = 2.84	0.038	η²=0.018
After grad (n = 27)	3,25 ± 1,05^a
No exp (n = 70)	2,48 ± 1,24^b
Other (n = 2)	3,00 ± 1,41^ab
Specialization in Psychiatry
Yes (n = 13)	3,61 ± 1,12	t = 2.20	0.010	Cohen’s d = 0.82
No (n = 292)	2,65 ± 1,17

*Resource-focused subscale: Independent t-test and ANOVA as appropriate. Effect sizes reported as Cohen’s d or η². Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test was performed to identify between-group differences following significant ANOVA results. Groups sharing different superscripts (a, b) differ significantly at p < 0.05
