Stepwise regression results predicting religious belief, traditional moral values, and disgust-based moral judgments. In each case, Cognitive Reflection remains a statistically significant predictor after controlling for Calculation and Numeracy (Step 4). Cognitive Reflection = Proportion of correct responses that were not intuitive on the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005). Calculation = Proportion of non-intuitive CRT responses that were correct. Numeracy = Proportion correct on Schwartz et al. (1997) three-item test. See Supplementary Materials for further information on this study. Standardized beta coefficients. Gender: 1 = Male, 2 = Female. Significant independent predictors in bold (p < 0.05). N = 378.
