Univariate MLM Analysis Sample Clauses

Univariate MLM Analysis. Univariate MLM analyses were conducted to obtain bivariate relationship estimates between the experimental manipulations and the measured variables. First, five univariate MLM models were estimated individually for the main effects of comedian racial group membership on the five measured variables (Figure 4.4). The estimation results showed significant main effects of group membership on perceived joke funniness, joke offensiveness, interpersonal anxiety, and intergroup anxiety. Asian comedians were perceived funnier than White comedians; White comedians were perceived more offensive than Asian comedians. The participants also experienced higher levels of interpersonal and intergroup anxiety with the White comedians than with the Asian comedians. Comedian racial group membership did not have a significant main effect on stereotype agreement.

The second set of univariate MLM analyses were conducted to estimate the main effects of content valence (negative/positive stereotype joke) on the five measured variables (Figure 4.5). The estimation results showed significant main effects of content valence on perceived joke funniness, joke offensiveness, and stereotype agreement. Negative-stereotype jokes were perceived funnier than positive-stereotype jokes. The former was also perceived more offensive than the latter. The participants also reported higher levels of agreement with the positive stereotype than with the negative ones. Joke content valence did not have a significant main effect on interpersonal anxiety or intergroup anxiety.
