5.2.2. Descriptive and Relevant Analysis
SPSS 23.0 was used to describe and analyze the main variable data. The
results are shown in Table 1. A significant difference was found in the
scores of the high-trust group and the low-trust group for heuristic
processing. The high-trust group used heuristic processing more
(M = 3.11, SD = 0.68) than did the low-trust group
(M = 2.93, SD = 0.57; t (158) = 1.79, p =
.08, d = 0.28). The risk perception of the high-trust group
(M = 3.42, SD = 0.75) was significantly lower than that of
the low-trust group (M = 3.64, SD = 0.50; t (158) =
2.20, p = .03, d = 0.34).
