Quick Summary

The introspection intervention is robust when controlling for the party over policy manipulation and when including ratings for the introspection items.

I found no significant moderators, however, education was a marginally significant moderator. As a participants increase in education, they are more likely to be influenced by the introspection intervention (decreasing likelihood of going to the party).

A. partyLikely ~ intro_cc + policy + DvR + BvE + DRvBE + polXDR + polXBE + polXDRvBE + (1 | country)

Likelihood of attending party regressed on contrast coded introspection condition accounting for random intercepts for country (the model would not converge with random slopes)


intro_cc_.5: introspection = +.5; control = -.5

Across countries, on average as you move from control to introspection condition, there is a .26 decrease in the likelihood of attending the party, \(\beta_1\) = -.26, t(6282) = -5.71, p < .001.

B. (2 DF test) partyLikely ~ intro_cc + introSpread_c + introExperienceSympt_c + policy + DvR + BvE + DRvBE + polXDR + polXBE + polXDRvBE + (1 | country)

2 DF test: Likelihood of attending party regressed on contrast coded introspection condition, introspection intervention rating for likelihood of spreading Covid-19 and experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, while controlling for contrast coded party over policy condition. Again, this also accounts for random intercepts for country (the model would not converge with random slopes)


Predictors excluded:

introSpread (mean centered): How much should your likelihood of spreading Covid-19 influence your decision to attend the gathering? (1 = not at all; 7 = extremely)

introExpSymp (mean centered): How much should your likelihood of experiencing severe symptoms from Covid-19 influence your decision to attend the gathering? (1 = not at all; 7 = extremely)

Results:

As expected, for our 2 degree of freedom test, there is a significant effect of the introspection question items. As a person rates higher that the spread and experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 should influence their decision to attend the party, they are less likely to attend the party, PRE = .18, F(2,6247) = 693.76, p < .001.

C. partyLikely ~ intro_cc + avgIntro_c + policy + DvR + BvE + DRvBE + polXDR + polXBE + polXDRvBE + (1 | country)

Likelihood of attending party regressed on contrast coded introspection condition, and the mean centered average for introspection intervention ratings, while controlling for contrast coded party over policy condition. Again, this also accounts for random intercepts for country (the model would not converge with random slopes)


Predictors excluded

avg_screen (mean centered): the average of introspection items for how much you should consider the likelihood of spreading Covid-19 to others and experiencing symptoms when deciding whether to attend the gathering

Results

Controlling for party over policy condition, and when including random intercepts for country, there is a significant effect for introspection condition even when controlling for mean centered average rating for the introspection items. As you move from control to introspection condition, there is a .21 decrease in the likelihood of attending the party, \(\beta_1\) = -.21, t(6241.15) = -4.90, p < .001.

C. Eduction and party identity


Results

the interaction between education and introspection remains marginally significant, \(\beta\) = -.034, t(5950) = -1.88, p = .060.

There is no significant 2-way interaction between introspection and party identity for participant or 3-way interaction between introspection, participant party, and education.
