Note: Reported findings were the same for raw responses vs. responses rounded to the nearest integer, due to these measures being correlated at r=1.00, p<.001. Correlations with judged probability of getting sick without prevention control for the judged probability of getting sick with prevention, and vice versa.
o
= significantly larger than for open-ended response mode (p<.05)
l
=significantly larger than for visual linear scale (p<.05)
m
=significantly larger than for visual magnifier scale (p<.05)
