Score means for attitudes about climate change.

Ingroup source

Post-attitudes about climate change (N) 5.25* (1.01)

The possible score ranges for pre- and post-attitudes were 1 to 7. Mean scores are in bold and standard deviations are in parentheses. Attitude shift from pre to post for outgroup source was not significant, therefore, additional analyses for outgroup minority and majority status pre to post was not warranted. * Attitude shift from pre to post was significant (p = 0.001), with a moderate effect size (ηp2 = 0.19). ** Attitude shift from pre to post was significant (p < 0.001), with a large effect size (ηp2 = 0.41).
