Causal valence is coded as -1 = generative condition and 1 = preventive condition. The two dummy variables for covariation conditions: Covar2 is coded as -1 = C1, 1 = C2, and 0 = C3 condition. Covar3 is coded as -1 = C1, 0 = C2, and 1 = C3 condition. The coefficients of Covar2/Covar3 represent the difference between the ratings in the C2/C3 condition and the overall mean/precision of the causal ratings. The two dummy variables for question type conditions: Structure is coded as -1 = strength judgment, 1 = structure judgment, and 0 = predictive judgment; predictive is coded as -1 = strength judgment, 0 = structure judgment, and 1 = predictive judgment. The coefficients of Structure/Predictive represent the difference between the ratings in the Structure/Predictive question and the overall mean/precision of the causal ratings. 2.5 and 97.5% are the lower and upper bounds of the 95% credibility interval.
