Note. VC = ventricular contractility, HR = heart rate, SJBs = System-justifying beliefs, TCI = Threat-Challenge Index, CV = Cardiovascular. Results of moderated regressions, with VC and HR mean-centered on Step 1 (for CV reactivity analysis only), condition (merit = 0, sexist = 1) and mean-centered SJBs on Step 2 (or 1) and their interaction on Step 3 (or 2).
