The sample was 65% female, and there were no significant cultural group differences in gender distribution, (2, = 176) = 5.23, = .07. As in Study 1, the pattern of results held N p χ2 when controlling for participant gender, and participant gender did not interact with cultural group for any of the variables of interest, so we removed this variable from the analyses reported below for parsimony.

Given this difference, we ran all the analyses for Study 2 p controlling for age; however, because the pattern of results was the same as when we did not control for age, we dropped this variable from the analyses reported below.
