Note. Cohen’s d is based on Morris’ (2008) procedure which takes into the account the correlation between pre- and post-test for each outcome variable. The evaluation of the online training revealed that nine people scored higher in altruism before the training then after. These nine individuals were eliminated for the analysis of altruism. Reasons for doing so, are elaborated on in the discussion section.
