The x-axis presents countries: Czech Republic (CZ), Germany (DE), Spain (ES), France (FR), Greece (GR), Hungary (HU), Italy (IT), Netherlands (NL), Poland (PL), Romania (RO), Sweden (SE), Turkey (TR), United Kingdom (UK). The y-axis shows 5-point Likert scale scores recoded to numeric values: with -2 for “extremely unacceptable”, -1 for “somewhat unacceptable”, 0 for “neither unacceptable, nor acceptable”, 1 for “somewhat acceptable”, and 2 for “extremely acceptable”. The reported scores varied between 0.5 and 1.45.
