Evidence

To test the robustness of this effect and show that this preference holds over and above support for conservative beliefs in general, we also conducted a mixed effects ANOVA where we tested the effect of condition on endorsement with participant-level fixed effects and political ideology as controls. In this model, we showed that over and above the significant effect of political ideology (F(1, 465) = 246.73, p < .001, η2 p = 0. — Felix Danbold, Ivuoma N. Onyeador, and Miguel M.
