Note. R = non-racist credential condition, S = non-sexist credential condition, N = no-credential condition. We expected positive ds with comparisons associated with H₁ and H₂, and non-negative ds for exploratory comparisons. Repetitive descriptive statistics are omitted. Excluding participants who did not choose the star did not result in qualitatively different results. 95% confidence intervals were estimated with first-order normal approximation bootstrapping method.
