Fig. 2: Adjusted support for social equality by political group and experimental condition.
From: Politically-targeted intergroup interventions promote social equality and engagement
This figure displays the estimated marginal means of support for social equality for three political groups (Conservatives, Centrists, Liberals) across four experimental conditions (Control, Meta-Perception, Social Norms, and Malleability). Error bars represent the standard errors of the means. Annotations: Significance: Significant effects (p < 0.05) are highlighted in blue (Conservatives: Meta-Perception), red (Centrists: Social Norms), and green (Liberals: Malleability). Effect sizes and confidence intervals: Each condition with a significant effect is annotated with B values, SE, 95% confidence intervals, Wald Chi-Square, and p-values. Wald Chi-Square and p-values: The annotations indicate the strength of the effects as tested in the GEE analyses. Interpretation: For conservatives, the meta-perception intervention (n = 241) shows a significant increase in support compared to the control (χ² = 6.23, p = 013, B = 0.231, SE = 0.052, 95% CI [0.130, 0.333]), while other interventions do not yield significant changes. For Centrists, the Social Norms intervention (n = 137) results in a significant increase in support compared to the control (χ² = 9.60, p = 002, B = 0.334, SE = 0.108, 95% CI [0.122, 0.546]), with other conditions showing non-significant effects. For Liberals, the Malleability intervention (n = 117) was significantly higher compared to the control (χ² = 9.54, p = 002, B = 0.267, SE = 0.086, 95% CI [0.098, 0.437]), while Meta-Perception and Social Norms interventions were not.
