Participant political identity was assessed using a single item taken from Greenwald, Smith, Sriram, Bar-Anan, and Nosek . Participants indicated which one of the seven options provided best described their political ideology. Participants who selected very liberal, moderately liberal, or slightly liberal were categorized as “liberal.” Those who selected slightly conservative, moderately conservative, or very conservative were categorized as “conservative.” Participants categorized as moderate were those who selected “neutral (moderate)” in response to this question. This political ideology question item was included as part of a larger demographic survey that also asked about participants’ age, sex, ethnicity, and other demographic information.
