Table 3 Significant effects of the mediation analyses (Study 1)

From: Prevention praised, cure preferred: results of between-subjects experimental studies comparing (monetary) appreciation for preventive and curative interventions

Step 1: Effect of scenario condition on appreciation measures

 

General appreciation scale

B = .60, SE = .11, p < .001

Percentage that health insurance should compensate

B = .17, SE = .63, p = .01

Allocation of money to Lytgens’ intervention/PSAs

B = .60, SE = .30, p = .05

Step 2: Effect of scenario condition on explanatory variables

 

Urgency to introduce method

B = .61, SE = .18, p = .001

Certainty of attribution

 

(Professor Lytgens is the person who saves lives)

B = .77, SE = .23, p = .001

Step 3: Effect of significant explanatory variables on significant appreciation measures while controlling for scenario condition

 

General appreciation scale

 

-Urgency to introduce the method

B = .29, SE = .07, p < .001

Percentage that health insurance should compensate

 

-Urgency to introduce the method

B = 2.06, SE = .33, p < .001

Step 4: Effect of scenario condition on significant appreciation measures while controlling for significant explanatory variables

 

General appreciation scale

B = .41, SE = .12, p = .001

Percentage that health insurance should compensate

B = .32, SE = .58, p = n.s.
