Scientists selfie example images and outcome means by stimulus group.
Bar graphs (boxes “f”: through “l”) represent impacts of IG stimulus viewing on enjoyment (box i), perceived trustworthiness of the IGers (box j), perceived symbolic threat from scientists (box k), warmth and competence evaluations of individual scientist IGers (top of boxes f and g), perceived warmth and competence of scientists (bottom of boxes f and g), and gender science stereotypes (box k). For bar graph values and standard errors, see Table 1. Asterisks (*) denote significant differences between means (per box) connected by dotted lines. Select comparisons are represented visually for emphasis; for an exhaustive list, see Table 1. Figure created by Jen Burgess, Isoline Studios.
