Systems thinking (a) versus linear thinking (b) indicators and their comparison across two distinct clusters of mental models (see Methods for details about each indicator). Independent sample t-tests were used with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons and an acceptable family-wise error rate (FWER) of 5%. α = Bonferroni adjusted alpha level per test = 0.05/8 = 0.00625. Asterisk denotes p-value ≤ α, which indicates statistical significance. Lower and upper box boundaries denote 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively. Line and triangle inside box denote median and mean, respectively. Vertical extending lines denote adjacent values (i.e., the most extreme values within 1.5 interquartile range of the 25th and 75th percentile of each group).
