Results

The results below show that the relationship between ratings of dishonesty (deed) and likeableness of the perpetrator was significant because the p-value is less than 0.05 (p <0.001) and the bootstrapped confidence intervals do not cross zero (0.763, 0.896). The value of Spearman’s correlation coefficient is quite large and positive (0.844), indicating a large positive effect: the more likeable the perpetrator was, the more positively their dishonest acts were viewed.
