Fig. 2: Experiments in South America.
From: The interplay between partisanship, forecasted COVID-19 deaths, and support for preventive policies
A–C Experiment in Argentina (N = 640). A The forecasted number of COVID-19 deaths was smaller in the “low anchor” condition (blue) than in the “high anchor” condition (red). Squares show mean forecasted number of deaths (in log-10 units), vertical bars depict SEM, and we display the p-value of the two-sample t-test. B The mean agreement with COVID-19 policies was not significantly different across conditions. C We observed a negligible association between forecasted deaths and agreement with COVID-19 policies. Dots show data from all participants, the solid black line show the best-fitting linear regression, and the dotted lines depict 95% confidence intervals. We also display the correlation coefficient and the p-value for correlation. D–F Same as A–C for Experiment 2 in Uruguay (N = 372). G–I Same as A–C for Experiment 3 in Brazil (N = 353).
