More specifically, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to 
explore the relationships developed between the demographic and clinical 
characteristics with the DASS-21 variables scoring, while at the same time 
chi-square tests were performed to obtain a better understand of the 
sample’s identity.
