Table 1. Descriptive statistics and correlations.

Scales	Range	M	SD	α	Pearson correlations among scales
1. Materialism	1–5	2.88	.54	.80	1.	2.	3.
2. Gratitude	1–7	5.77	.78	.62	–.31
3. Spiritual jihad	1–7	5.75	1.03	.95	–.22	.23
4. Life satisfaction	1–7	4.86	1.10	.81	–.25	.21	.36

Note: All correlations had p-values < .001.

Figure 1. Response distributions for variables.

Note: The violin charts display response distributions, with box plots marking the 25th and 75th percentiles and a bolded line for the median. Vertical lines indicate values within 1.5 times the interquartile range. The data suggests a normal competence distribution in the control condition, as Skewness and Kurtosis range between –1 and +1. Metrics for select variables include Materialism (Median: 2.86, SD: .54), Gratitude (Median: 5.83, SD: .78), Life Satisfaction (Median: 4.80, SD: 1.10), and Spiritual Jihad (Median: 5.96, SD: 1.04).
