  1. Results from a linear mixed model with punishment type, F(3, 4066.10) = 22.51, p < 0.001, power, F(1, 1635.80) = 7.18, p = 0.007, and the power × punishment type interaction, F(3, 4247.63) = 2.75, p = 0.041, as predictors of punishment motivations. The table shows parameter estimates from planned contrasts, without adjustments for multiple comparisons. All tests are two-sided. Social exclusion motivations are used as the reference category. The model controls for gender and the gender × punishment type interaction. The model also includes the effects of power (person-average), and the power (person-average) × punishment type interaction. Results including person-average effects are available in Supplementary Table 4. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
