Horizontally viewed, both slopes tell that higher pathogen stress increases gender discrimination, albeit less so in areas with much agriculture (B(153) = .29, p < .001, CI = .16 to .42 for the upper slope) than in areas with little agriculture (B(153) = .65, p < .001, CI = .49 to .82 for the lower slope). Vertically viewed, both gaps between slopes tell that more agriculture increases gender discrimination, albeit less so in areas with high pathogen stress (B(153) = .36, p < .001, CI = .22 to .49 for the right gap) than in areas with low pathogen stress (B(153) = .72, p < .001, CI = .56 to .89 for the left gap).
