Structural Equations Model depicting the effect of identity fusion on selective censoring of incongruent vs. congruent comments (Study 1). The c1 and c2 paths represent the effects of fusion on censoring incongruent and congruent comments respectively. The significant difference between the two paths (i.e., Δc) indicates that fusion is associated with selectively censoring incongruent comments. The coefficients reported are unstandardized. * indicates p < .05. ** indicates p < .01.
