|---|---|---|---|
| Political trust | 3 | 2.63 (0.81) | 0.83/0.88 |
| Appropriateness of restrictions | 2 | 2.48 (0.91) | 0.65/0.65 |

| Optimism | 2 | 3.24 (0.99) | 0.85/0.85 |
Note: Attitudes towards immigrants were measured with 2 × 2 items distributed randomly across participants (i.e., each participant rated 2 items only). These items took the form of a 100‐point feeling thermometer. Social activism is a summed score of up to 14 possible collective actions (1 = has done, 0 = not done). All other constructs were measured on 5‐point scales (average scores).
