In group size 60000, Pearson’s Independence Test: χ2(1) = 5.036. In group size 6000, χ2(1) = 4.851. In group size 600, χ2(1) = 3.228. In group size 150, χ2(1) = 0.446. In group size 60, χ2(1) = 3.389. In group size 6, χ2(1) = 1.123. DK/NA (446 people) is excluded from the analysis. The last row shows p values of the framing effect.
