q3 · i? · causal · r2

Simple-effects analysis in the divisional mindset condition (story featured two opposing groups, Sun and Moon, with different skin colors and magic powers); the article reports "the effect of diversity was nonsignificant, F < 1". No effect size was printed, so equivalence was not tested.

"in line with Hypothesis 2b, however, when the mindset was based on divisions, the effect of diversity was nonsignificant, F < 1 (see Table 1)."
