Figures & data
Figure 1. Examples of news items used in Studies 1–3. Top and middle: items on the left are hostile to Democrats and those on the right to Republicans.
Figure 2. Associations between moralized rationality and willingness to share each news type in Studies 1, 2 and 3. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 3. Associations between status seeking (status-driven risk taking and the moral grandstanding scale) and willingness to share each news type in Studies 1, 2, 3. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 4. Associations between status seeking (the moral grandstanding index and status-driven risk taking) and moralized rationality in Studies 1, 2, 3. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 5. Associations between intellectual humility and willingness to share each news type in Study 2 and 3 (the scale was absent from Study 1). Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 6. Associations between moralized rationality and willingness to believe each news type in Study 2. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 7. Associations between status seeking (status-driven risk taking and the moral grandstanding index) and belief in each news type in Study 2. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID, while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
Figure 8. Associations between intellectual humility and belief in each news type in Study 2. Regression coefficients denote the standardized regression coefficient of each personality covariate on the dependent variable with robust SEs clustered around participant ID while controlling for age, sex, and education. Whiskers are 95% confidence intervals.
