Public beliefs: Global warming & human evolution Below avg. Left_Right Above avg Left_Right N = 730. U.S. Nationally representative sample (June 2016). Annenberg Public Policy Center/Cultural Cognition Project. Brackets reflect 0.95 confidence intervals for estimation of population means. “Above” and “below average Left_right” reflects median split on scale formed by aggregating responses to 5-point liberal-conservative ideology & 7-point party id ( = 0.79).

Bounded rationality thesis & Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT)

“Religiosity” measures Gervais: STUDY 1: 7-point strength of belief in God & religious upbringing item (binary, yes-no) STUDY 2: 101-point strength of belief in God & 8-point church attendance item

Gervais, study 1 N = 891

Gervais, study 2 N = 670

From Kahan & Stanovich. Rationality & Belief in Evolution, Working paper (2017).

“Religiosity” measures Kahan & Stanovich (2017) (α = 0.86): RELIG_IMP. “How important is religion in your life?” [“Very important”; “Somewhat important”; “Not too important”; “Not at all important”] PRAYER. “People practice their religion in different ways. Outside of attending religious services, how often do you pray?” [:Several times a day”; “once a day”; “A few times a week”; “Once a week”; “A few times a month”; “Seldom”; “Never”] CHURCH_ATTEND. “Aside from weddings and funerals, how often do you attend religious services?” [“More than once a week”; “Once a week”; “Once or twice a month”; “A few times a year”; “Seldom”; “Never”]   BORN_AGAIN. “Would you describe yourself as a ‘born-again’ or evangelical Christian, or not?” [“Yes,” “No”]

“Human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals.” (True/false) low religiosity ∆68%, ± 14% ∆47%, ± 7% Prob. of agreeing high religiosity CRT (No. correct) From Kahan & Stanovich. Rationality & Belief in Evolution, Working paper (2017).
