Note: “⚫” and “●” represent the presence of a condition. “Ⓧ” and “⊛” suggest that the condition does not appear. “⚫” and “Ⓧ” denote core conditions. “•” and “⊛” denote marginal conditions. The core condition refers to the condition variables that appear in both the “simplex solution” and the “intermediate solution” of the QCA analysis and have a greater impact on the results. Marginal conditions are condition variables that appear only in the intermediate solutions of the QCA analysis. Marginal conditions are less important to the results compared with core conditions.
