Fig 3. Initial acceptability of alternative housing systems (before confrontation with trade-offs).

Fig 3

Split 1: n = 520; split 2: n = 518. Displayed are means and standard deviations. Split 1: Rating of the statement ‘I consider this housing system an acceptable alternative to the free-range system’. Split 2: ‘I consider this housing system an acceptable alternative to the indoor housing system with slatted floors’. Rating on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 = completely disagree, 4 = partly/partly, 7 = totally agree. Comparison of acceptability levels between housing systems within a split sample using t-test for dependent samples; significant differences with *** p ≤ 0.001. Comparison of acceptability of ‘indoor straw’ and ‘outdoor run’ between split samples using t-test for independent samples; differences were significant (p ≤ 0.001) but are not marked in the figure.
