Note d: Cohen’s d (standardized mean difference), OVL: Overlapping coefficient (Inman and Bradley Jr 1989), which estimates the amount of similarities between British and US-American participants (OVL of 100 indicates the groups are identical, a OVL of 50 suggests that 50% of the responses given by British participants are mirrored by US-American participants)
