Means | Standard deviations | Means | Standard deviations | Means | Standard deviations | Means | Standard deviations | F | p | |
Number of correct contamination-relevant responses | 7.47 | 1.12 | 8.10 | 1.41 | 7.69 | 1.19 | 6.95 | 1.16 | 6.36 | .014* |
Percentage of contamination-relevant errors (reversed) | −.50 | .22 | −.39 | .23 | −.42 | .14 | −.57 | .19 | 8.93 | .004** |
Sensitivity to contamination content | 5.65 | 2.43 | 6.65 | 2.62 | 5.92 | 1.94 | 4.48 | 2.06 | 6.20 | .015* |
Note: The F and p values are measures of the interactions between ethnicity and explanation type: df = 80 for all variables. Values under “European American” and “Chinese” are the means and standard deviations of the number of correct responses, percentage of contamination-relevant errors (reversed), and sensitivity to contamination content, by explanation type (genetic vs. non-genetic)
