Table 1.

Mean (SD) innateness scores and impact of effort scores from Study 3.

	Continuity
Current performance	Yes	No
	Innateness
Positive	.73 (.38)	.41 (.42)
Negative	.53 (.41)	.26 (.31)
	Impact of Effort
Positive	.36 (.34)	.21 (.31)
Negative	.42 (.40)	.35 (.34)

Note. For each measure, greater values correspond to stronger endorsement of essentialist reasoning. Innateness scores ranged from 0 = least innate to 1 = most innate, and impact of effort scores ranged from 0 = most affected by effort to 1 = least affected by effort.
