The experimental condition had a significant effect on claim validity, F(2, 342) = 3.33, p = 0.037, ηp 2 = 0.019. Participants perceived the lawsuit as less valid in the multiculturalism than in the multicultural meritocracy condition (F[1, 342] = 6.55, p = 0.011, ηp 2 = 0.019). Multiculturalism and value-in-merit (F[1, 342] = 0.92, p = 0.338, ηp 2 = 0.003), and multicultural meritocracy and value-inmerit (F[1, 342] = 2.54, p = 0.112, ηp 2 = 0.007) did not differ.
