In group size 60000, Pearson’s Independence Test: χ2(1) = 10.691. In group size 6000, χ2(1) = 11.325. In group size 600, χ2(1) = 9.737. In group size 150, χ2(1) = 7.740. In group size 60, χ2(1) = 5.851. In group size 6, χ2(1) = 11.971. DK/NA (446 people) is excluded from the analysis. The last row shows p values of the framing effect.
