|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condition | Relative | Absolute | Marginal means | Relative | Absolute | Marginal means |
| Innocent | 6.07 (2.04) | 5.45 (2.90) | 5.76a (2.25) | 6.83 (2.15) | 6.31 (2.90) | 6.16b (2.33) |
| Non-innocent | 8.61 (2.01) | 7.82 (2.06) | 8.21c (1.72) | 8.41 (2.20) | 7.68 (2.22) | 8.05c (1.95) |
Note. Higher values indicate more negative character ratings of the victim. Marginal means (i.e., averaged across relative and absolute ratings within victim innocence conditions) that do not share a common subscript are statistically significantly different (p < .001).
