Naïve-Participant Interaction: 1 = Interaction involves only naïve participants, 0 = Participants interact with a scripted/identified confederate.

Covariates examined in models above were created for the purposes of disentangling the effects of the naïve-participant vs. confederate distinction from the effects of other potentially confounding factors that varied (to some extent) across studies. These results do not represent powerful independent tests of the effects of many of the covariates listed above (see discussion section).

With the exception of % female, all covariates are binary
