Note: Predicted values and significance tests compare difference from no college in SD units for each moral dimension. The “direction of change” column refers to whether the difference from no college is in the direction of a more stereotypically liberal/conservative moral profile. Percentages of enrolled respondents were calculated at wave 4 using listwise deletion; the total exceeds 100 percent because of double majors.

^*p < .05; ^**p < .01; ^***p < .001 (two-tailed tests).
