| Unconditional preference | Participants in the strong Meritocracy prime, were strongly more oppose to this affirmative action policy, than participants in the moderate Meritocracy prime. | ||||||
| Darnon et al. (2018) | Meritocracy | None | Interest in the equalizing pedagogical method | Equalizing method | Participants in the Meritocracy prime did not scored significantly different from participants in the control condition. | ds = 0.14 | |
| Enhancing method | Participants in the Meritocracy prime did not scored significantly different from participants in the control condition. | ds = −0.16 | |||||
| Behavioral engagement in the equalizing pedagogical method | Equalizing method | Participants in the Meritocracy prime did not scored significantly different from participants in the control condition. | ds = 0.22 | ||||
| Enhancing method | Participants in the Meritocracy prime did not scored significantly different from participants in the control condition. | ds = −0.01 | |||||
| Levy et al. (2006) [study 2] | PWE | None | Egalitarianism | Age | 10–12 years. Participants in the prime condition reported higher levels of egalitarianism than participant in the control condition | ds = 0.52 | |
| 14–16 years. Participants in the prime condition reported higher levels of egalitarianism than participant in the control condition | ds = 0.43 | ||||||
| 18–25 years. Participants in the prime condition reported lower levels of egalitarianism than participant in the control condition | ds = −0.34 | ||||||
| Levy et al. (2006) [study 3] | PWE | None | Egalitarianism | task instructions (justification vs. definition) × task content (PWE vs. control) |
Participants in the Justification condition reported lower levels of egalitarianism than participant in the definition condition. | Task Content: PWE Dg = 0.77 |
|
| Participants in the Justification condition did not scored differently from participant in the definition condition | Task Content: Control dg = 0.04 |

| Wellman et al. (2016) | Meritocracy | None | Support for AA | None | Participants in the Meritocracy prime show less support for Affirmative actions compared to the control condition. |
Dg = −0.35 [0.71, 0.01] |
|
| Zero-sum beliefs | Participants in the Meritocracy prime endorse zero-sum beliefs more compared to the control condition. |
