Table 3.
Associations of Rh-negativity and covariates with each variable related to sexual life and reproduction. This table shows the results (standardised beta coefficients) of eleven univariate GLM analyses (Type III sums of squares) analysing associations between variables related to sexual life and reproduction (first column) and Rh-negativity and covariates. In accordance with the preregistration, each model includes only covariates with Kendall’s Tau > 0.02 or < − 0.02 for correlation with output variables (see Supplementary Table S3). Current partnership, church membership, and Rh-negativity were binary variables with 0 indicating no current partnership, no church membership, and a positive Rh phenotype, and 1 indicating being in a partnership, church membership, and a negative Rh phenotype. Associations with p values under 0.05 are in bold and those with p values under 0.005 are marked with asterisks.
