We found a highly significant increase in acceptability for “many” [ t (20) = −7.79; p < 0.001], and a decrease for “few” [ t (20) = 2.58; p = 0.018] (one-tailed t -tests, p -Bonferroni-corrected).

This effect was significant from sub-block 1 to sub-block 3 [ t (20) = −3.57; p = 0.001] as a result of a significant increase from sub-block 1 to sub-block 2 [ t (20) = −2.55; p = 0.005] and a strong trend from sub-block 2 to sub-block 3 [ t (20) = −1.67; p = 0.056; all tests one-tailed, uncorrected for multiple comparisons].
