Final Model of Hierarchical Regression Analyses of Scientific Literacy, Faith in Science, Climate Change Skepticism, Vaccine Skepticism, GM Skepticism, and Science Support, Study 3.

Note. All analyses adjust for demographic variables and moral foundations scores. Scientific literacy did not contribute to the explained variance of faith in science and vice versa; thus, for these variables, the final model is omitted from this table. Science funding allocation: Higher scores indicate a lower ranking of science on the resource allocation task. GM = genetic modification.
