We recoded these values to the most post-16 years of education they could have achieved given their age. The results are virtually identical if we leave these values as reported or remove these participants entirely.

the results (vs. removing them list-wise).Objective socioeconomic statusWe measured annual household income using an 18-point ordinal scale with values ranging from 1 (less than ?000) to 18 (?5,001 and above), with each option DMXB-A site spanning ?999 (M = 6.87, SD = 4.17).

For the measure of PRD, participants completed a single-item from Callan et al.'s (2011) PRDS: "When I compare what I have with what others like me have, I realize that I am quite well off," which was rated on a scale from 1 (very strongly disagree) to 10 (very strongly agree).
