Ukrainian female students who became refugees reported higher fear of war than those who stayed in their homes, with a statistically significant difference.
Scientific Claim
Refugees had higher fear of war scores (36.9) compared to non-relocated students (34.6) among Ukrainian female university students (F(2,3,093)=12.355, p<.001, partial η²=0.008).
Original Statement
“one-way ANOVA shows a significant difference in fear scores associated with respondents’ location status: 34.6 versus 35.1 versus 36.9 among non-relocated, internally relocated and refuge respectively (F(2,3,093) = 12.355, p < .001, partial η2 = .008).”
