Fig. 4. Study 3.

(A) Increasing diversity manipulation (dichotomous variable) and policy manipulation (dichotomous variable) predicting negative emotions in states with more inclusive policies (continuous variable, defined as +2 SD from the mean). (B) Increasing diversity manipulation and policy manipulation predicting negative emotions in states with less inclusive policies (defined as −2 SD from the mean). To enhance readability of the figures, in study 3 we plotted the interactions defining inclusive and exclusive policies as ±2 SD from the mean. For exclusive policies (B), this value is theoretical, and no states had such exclusive policies. Error bars represent SEs. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 (two-tailed).
