Fig. 2. Table of correlations among independent variables – diversity in observable and unobservable attributes of identity at the level of basin council – and dependent variables – outcomes at the level of basin council. Positive correlations significant at α = 0.1 are shown as grey squares with a ‘+’ sign; negative correlations significant at α = 0.1 are shown as black squares with a ‘-’ sign; white indicates a lack of significant correlation at α = 0.1. Solid black lines divide groups of independent and dependent variable proxies. For example, WV 3 (5th column from right) has two significant negative correlations with proxies of participation (PC4 and PC 5). Please see Appendix 1 for a complete list of questions and the means by which they were coded.
