Fig. 3: Schematic representation of the overall direction of the significant effects of all the predictors on the different outcomes.

From: Machine learning identifies key individual and nation-level factors predicting climate-relevant beliefs and behaviors

Fig. 3

Small circles represent predictors that have a significant effect on the outcome, while big circles represent significant predictors that are the top 5 most important predictors for each outcome. The color of the circle indicates the direction of the relationship between the predictor and the outcome. If a predictor had a positive effect (i.e., a higher predictor value is associated with a higher outcome value), it is marked in pink, and if it had a negative, it is in blue. Effects that did not show an overall positive or negative direction were labeled as non-linear and marked in grey. Note: * climate risk index: high scores = low risk, low scores = high risk; gender: male 0, female 1; political orientation: high scores = conservative, low scores = liberal; GINI: income inequality coefficient.
