148 degrees of freedom for all tests.

Metrics which showed no significant variation between matched primes.

a

Negative values represent higher ratings for the Hispanic prime.

b

Numbers in brackets represent 95% confidence interval.

*

p values are not corrected for multiple comparisons, representing a more conservative test when highlighting non-significant results.
