Note. In the creation of the ideological conservativism measure, 159 participants selected “don’t know, haven’t decided” and were included as missing, reducing the sample size to 652. For dichotomous variables, the mean represents the proportion of participants. Bivariate correlations between sites were omitted because they are not conceptually meaningful. For all geographic sites, N = 1,364.
