Breakdown of realist and anti-realist responses in abstract measures (excluding truth-aptness task)
| Theory | Comparison | Metaphor | Disagreement | TOTAL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secular Realism | 20% | 10% | 13% | 8% | 13% |
| Theist Realism | 12% | 11% | 11% | 6% | 10% |
| Cultural Relativism | 27% | 46% | 53% | 19% | 36% |
| Individual Subjectivism | 7% | 28% | 19% | 47% | 25% |
| Error Theory | 4% | 3% | 4% | 5% | 4% |
| Non-Cognitivism | 30% | 3% | 23% | 19% |
