Figure 1. The hypothesized full model of the relationships among external attribution of terrorism, internal attribution of terrorism, symbolic threat, realistic threat, uncertainty avoidance, Islamic fundamentalism, cognitive response to mortality salience and emotional response to mortality salience.

Note. The numbers were standardized path coefficients and factor-loadings. ExterA−ExterB = External Attribution of Terrorism Parcel A and Parcel B; InterA−InterB = Internal Attribution of Terrorism Parcel A and Parcel B; SymA = Symbolic Threat Parcel A; SymB = Symbolic Threat Parcel B; SymC = Symbolic Threat Parcel C; RealA = Realistic Threat Parcel A; RealB = Realistic Threat Parcel B; RealC = Realistic Threat Parcel C; AvoidA−AvoidB = Uncertainty Avoidance Parcel A and Parcel B; FundA−FundE = Islamic fundamentalism Parcel A, Parcel B, Parcel C, Parcel D, and Parcel E; EmotA−EmoC = Emotional Response to Mortality Salience Parcel A, Parcel B, and Parcel C; CogA and CogB = Cognitive Response to Morality Salience Parcel A and Parcel B.

^nsp ≥ .05 (not significant). *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001. All factor-loadings were significant at p < .001.
