q2 · i? · causal · r1

Univariate results from the MANCOVA showed differences on Out-Group Sportsmanship (F(1, 28) = 5.053, p = .033). The exposed group's OS mean was 4.31 (SD = 1.20) versus 3.42 (SD = 0.95) for controls; the article reports "rival fans behaved more poorly". No effect size was printed.

"Participants exposed to the comic strips or cartoons reported that their rival fans behaved more poorly (M = 4.31, SD = 1.20) but experienced less satisfaction when their favorite team beat the rival (M = 6.12, SD = 0.93) than those not exposed to the comic strips or cartoons"
