  1. This table contains the opinion change outcome of all 642 completed conversations across all three game types. Conversation type indicates the type of user interaction: two humans (hh), two agents (aa), or an agent and a human (ah). For ah conversations, we show two rows where the first letter indicates for which player, agent, or human we measure opinion change. Each player in a conversation has the opportunity to change their opinion, yielding \(642 \times 2\) opinion changes. We note that incomplete conversations do not record any opinion changes, and there were cases in which one player finished re-evaluating their opinion before the time limit expired, but their conversational partner did not. See SM Table S22 for a version of this table further split by the type of player who initiated the conversation.
