Long-drop Hangings: Among Executioners, 38% were OK with long-drop hangings. Among Hard Abstract Supporters, only 17% were OK with such executions. Among Soft Abstract Supporters, only 10% were OK with this method of execution. According to the Chi-Square test, these differences are statistically significant. The Sig. value is less than .05. With a Phi coefficient of .27 and an Eta Squared of .07, the effect size of approving this method of execution exerts slightly less than a medium effect on execution roles (intended actions).

When Soft Abstract Supporters and Hard Abstract Supporters were analyzed separately using the Chi-Square test with correction for continuity (2 X 2 table), the difference between them was also statistically significant. With a Phi coefficient of .09 and an Eta Squared of .009, the effect size of approving this method of execution exerts a small effect on execution roles (intended actions).
