In group size 60000, Pearson’s Independence Test: χ2(1) = 5.658. In group size 6000, χ2(1) = 2.504. In group size 600, χ2(1) = 2.321. In group size 150, χ2(1) = 2.999. In group size 60, χ2(1) = 1.184. In group size 6, χ2(1) = 8.542. DK/NA (131 people) is excluded from the analysis. The last row shows p values of the framing effect.
