Figure 5. Pearson r correlation matrices.

(A) Associations within dimensions across themes. (B) Associations within themes across dimensions. Both include all items before exclusion. All correlations are rounded to two decimal points. This used samples from Mor, Morality; Para, Paranormal; Pol, Politics; Rel, Religion; Sci, Science. A, Agreement; I, Interest; R, Self- Relevance. Self-relevance and interest dimensions were positively and significantly correlated across all themes. For the agreement dimensions, there was high variation between themes. The correlations between agreement and interest, and agreement and self-relevance were significantly lower than the correlation between interest and self-relevance for all themes (ps < 0.001).
