Generalized social trust as a pathway linking pathogen disgust sensitivity to negative perceptions of outgroups. (A) Indirect statistical effect through trust b = 0.02, p = 0.001. (B) Indirect statistical effect through trust b < 0.01, p < 0.001. (C) Indirect statistical effect through trust b = 0.01, p = 0.002. (D) Indirect statistical effect through trust b = 0.02, p = 0.001. Note. In each panel, n = 2084. The SEM models were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. To avoid imposing potentially undue restrictions on the models, we estimate fully saturated models. Gender, age, education, family income, race, Big Five personality traits, and SOI were included as control variables for all effects. The models were estimated using robust standard errors. †p = 0.096, ^*p < 0.05, ^**p < 0.01, ^***p < 0.001.
