Note: N = 728 (N = 580 for correlations with Rep. vs. Dem.). The values at the diagonal line (if any) are the interitem correlations (αs) of the target scale. Correlations over r = .08 are significant at p < .05. SVO = social value orientation; SDO = social dominance orientation; RWA = right-wing authoritarianism; Rep. versus Dem. = Republicans (coded 1) versus Democrats (coded 2); Exp. cooperation = the total amount of expected cooperation from partner summed across all four trials of the prisoner’s dilemma; Own cooperation = the total amount of own cooperation summed across the four trials of the prisoner’s dilemma; Diff. expect = difference in the expected cooperation from Republican partner versus Democrat partner (a positive value indicates greater expected cooperation from a Republican, than Democrat, partner); Diff. cooperation = difference in one’s cooperation toward a Republican partner versus a Democrat partner (a positive value indicates greater cooperation with a Republican partner than Democrat partner).
