Trust in judges as a function of the interviewer being introduced as coming from Utrecht University Law School or Utrecht Regional Community College and participants’ educational level (Study 1).
| EDUCATIONAL LEVEL | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOW | INTERMEDIATE | HIGH | ||||
| INTERVIEWER | M | SD | M | SD | M | SD |

[i] Note: Trust ratings are on 7-point scales with higher values indicating higher levels of trust in Dutch judges. Means with no subscript in common differ significantly (p < .05), as indicated by a Tukey-b post-hoc test for multiple comparisons between means among the six cells of our design.

[i] Note: Trust ratings are on 7-point scales with higher values indicating higher levels of trust in Dutch judges. Means with no subscript in common differ significantly (p < .05), as indicated by a Tukey-b post-hoc test for multiple comparisons between means among the nine cells of our design. The cells with different superscripts differ significantly (p < .001), as shown in direct contrast tests performed against the overall error term in our 3 × 3 design.
