post-hoc contrasts revealed that Democrats reported significantly greater belief (M = 5.94, SD = 1.37) than all other groups, whereas Republicans (M = 4.29, SD = 1.93) reported significantly less belief than all other groups (ps <.001, Bonferonni correction for
multiple comparisons); Independents and Others fell in between (M = 5.18, SD = 1.81 and M = 5.27, SD = 1.72, respectively).
