FIGURE 2.

Violin plots for disgust, social perception, self-perception, and psychological distance separated by teaching intervention and treatment (A–D) as well as by teaching intervention and gender (E–H). Experimental: live animal; control: bed bug picture. Light gray plots indicate pretest data, dark gray plots indicate posttest data; items assessed on a six-point rating scale. Disgust (A, E): higher values indicate stronger disgust; social perception (B, F): higher values indicate less stigmatizing behavior; self-perception (C, G): higher values indicate less stigmatizing behavior; psychological distance (D, H): higher values indicate a larger psychological distance.
