Note: Salience interaction represents the interaction between salience level and variability. In Models S2 to S4, the same longitudinal path between process and content was constrained to be equal over time (e.g., W1 salience interaction → W2 exploration, W3 salience interaction → W4 exploration). Moreover, in Model S4, the same longitudinal paths involving Wave 5 and 6 were also constrained to be equal over time (e.g., W2 commitment → W3 salience mean, W4 commitment → W5 salience mean), although these paths were not displayed in the table.
