Table 2.

Frequencies of average praise scores across high- and low-SES vignettes in Study 1.

Praise score
0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
Modest praise
 Low SES 26 8 50 5 15 0 2
 High SES 23 5 51 4 18 3 2
Inflated praise
 Low SES 72 15 17 0 2 0 0
 High SES 83 10 13 0 0 0 0
Total praise
 Low SES 16 0 55 5 25 3 2
 High SES 16 2 50 7 26 3 2

There were two low-SES and two high-SES vignettes. Thus, the praise score reflects the average praise frequency across the two vignettes per SES category (e.g., an inflated praise score of 2 for low SES means that the participant provided an average of two instances of inflated praise per low-SES vignette).
