Note: M and SD are used to represent mean and standard deviation, respectively. * indicates p < .05. ** indicates p < .01 and *** indicates p < .001. All data from Sample 1 relies on the 32-item version of the NOQ. COMPETIVE = NOQ Competitiveness subscale. IND SELF-REG = NOQ Individual Self-regulation subscale. DETACHMENT = NOQ Relational Detachment subscale. DIVESTMENT = NOQ Public Divestment subscale. ESJ = Economic System Justification scale. FWS = Free Will Scale. PGI = Personal Growth Initiative scale. Pol-OR = Political Orientation ranging from ‘extreme left’ to ‘extreme right.’
