  1. Notes: † p < 0.10, * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01; Dependent variable includes estate planning decision (EPD). Independent variables include meditation (MED), assets (ASSETS), income (INCOME), marital status (MS), age (AGE), family size (FAMILY), location (LOCATION), education (EDUCATION), and gender (GENDER)
  2. aThe lowest tolerance is 0.591 and the highest Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is 1.692 indicating that multicollinearity is not a serious issue
