        They are actually the same. It happened with my screenshot software, as I had to piece them together from single shots.

        1) interesting (I didn't know people actually could get paid to study this); 2) it seems all significant findings except for "successful" would become nonsignificant, once multiple comparisons are properly accounted for?pic.twitter.com/yZw7u38vA2

        This makes sense. I thought I remember reading a psychology book mentioning a study that shows white clothing makes people appear more trustworthy. And I can see all those factors contributing to how much someone trusts another person.
