Study	Outcome	VI 1	VI 2	Results	Effect size
					Prime	Control
Quinn and Crocker (1999)	Psychological Well being	Overweight		Overweight women in the prime condition show lower scores than overweight women in the control condition.	Not Estimable
		Normal weight		Prime did not predict differences in PWB.
	Self-esteem	Overweight		Overweight women in the prime condition show lower scores than overweight women in the control condition.
		Normal weight		Prime did not predict differences in SE.
Darnon et al. (2017)	School performance	Low SES vs. High SES		In the prime condition performance was significantly lower for Low SES students than high SES students, compared to control condition.	ds = −4.43 [−5.38, −3.48]	ds = −0.80 [−1.31, −0.29]
	School efficacy			In the prime condition school self- efficacy was lower for Low SES students than high SES students, compared to control condition.	ds = −0.47 [−0.99, 0.05]	ds = –0.12 [−0.60, 0.37]
McCoy and Major (2007)[study 1]	Attributions for rejection	Women	Discrimination vs. Internal attributions	In the prime condition, women were more likely to make internal attributions for the rejection (e.g., blame themselves) than blame on discrimination. Women in the control condition were no more likely to blame themselves than they were to blame discrimination	dz = −0.44	d z = −0.18
		Men	Discrimination vs. Internal attributions	In the prime condition, men were no more likely to blame themselves than they were to blame discrimination. in the control condition were more likely to blame themselves than they were to blame discrimination.	dz = −0.07	dz = 0.70
