In addition, we found a marginally significant interaction of intervention type and age, χ 2 (3) = 7.76, p =.05, such that with increasing age children tended to be more likely to rank Giving higher, χ 2 (1) = 6.01, b = 0.04, SE = 0.02, p <.05, and rank Doing Nothing lower, χ 2 (1) = 4.52, b = − 0.03, SE = 0.01, p <.05.
Moreover, children showed a marginally significant tendency to perceive Exclusion as a more effective solution for the group in the COVID condition than in the Muddy Shoes condition ( b = − 0.33, SE = 0.19), F (1, 125) = 3.11, p =.08, whereas they showed a marginally significant tendency to perceive Doing Nothing as a less effective intervention in the COVID condition than in the Muddy Shoes condition ( b = 0.31, SE = 0.19), F (1, 125) = 2.81, p =.10.
