However, the copy number of these variants differs in different samples.
The cutoff value between affiliated pores and dominant pores may differ for different samples.
These differences in findings may be attributable to differing samples and/or response modality.
The percent of variance explained by household-level characteristics was different in these three studies, probably due to differing samples, methodology and cultural factors.
Research is inconsistent on age sex variations with life satisfaction, probably due to differing samples and measures used.
Discrepancy from our results may be due to differing sample sizes, different measurements of outcome and different outcome groupings.
Demographically speaking, the present sample was largely homogeneous with the original sample of 371 on which the published long form is based.1 Group differences based on differing sample demographic characteristics are thus not anticipated.
As Cairns (2001) points out, the differences could be attributed to differing sample populations or differing methods of framing time preference.
To avoid sampling bias due to grossly differing sample sizes, the under-represented groups Y (3 individuals) and BY (12 individuals) were excluded from these analyses.
Potential reasons for this latter discrepancy may have to do with such things as differing inclusion criteria and possibly more importantly, differing sample sizes.
