(B) Conservatives’ and liberals’ sensitivity is unrelated to the proportion of ingroup-harming falsehoods. (C) Liberals’ sensitivity increases more rapidly than conservatives’ as the proportion of truths benefiting the ingroup increases. (D) Liberals’ sensitivity declines more rapidly than conservatives’ as the proportion of falsehoods benefiting the ingroup increases.
