Posterior predictions of the ordered categorical prestige model showing how the distribution of each Likert scale response varies with influence ratings. The lines indicate boundaries between response values, numbered 1–7, with thick lines indicating the mean prediction for that boundary. For example, the space between the purple and blue lines marked with a ‘6’ indicates the relative number of participants who gave a rating of 6. The figure shows that if a participant is rated as highly influential, they are more likely to also be given a high prestige rating (e.g. 7) compared to less influential participants.
