h
|

cp

cs
|
Prestige bias, i.e. the increase in p0 in response to the suicide of a prestigious “celebrity” (replaces s) |
m
|
Similarity bias, i.e. the number of binary risk factors (out of six) that a model and an observer must share in order for the former to exert social influence on the latter |
