Note. Universalism indirect effect = .26 [.06, .67]; Benevolence indirect effect = -.02 [-.26, .13];

Unstandardized regression coefficients are reported out of parentheses and 95% CI derived from bootstrap resample among parentheses. Regression coefficients of X and covariates on Y, as well as indirect effects, are on a log-odds metric.
