Table 8.

Stepwise multiple regression results for gender conspiracy beliefs and conspiracy mentality. n = 1823. GCB, gender conspiracy beliefs; CMQ, conspiracy mentality questionnaire; SDO, social dominance orientation. In step 1, we examined the impact of condition (control versus experimental), SDO and political orientation on GCB and CMQ. In step 2, we entered the interaction terms between condition and SDO, and between condition and political orientation. ph = Holm-corrected significance level.)

aControl condition = 0, experimental condition = 1.

bHigher values indicate a more right-leaning political orientation.
