The demographics of college biology Muslim student participants in this study.
Fig 1.
Violin plots of proportion of correct answers on a test of evolution understanding disaggregated by religious affiliation. The violin shapes are the densities of the data at each point on the y-axis. The solid black lines are the medians, and the top and bottom broken lines are the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data.
Table 3.
The mean and standard deviation of evolution understanding scores disaggregated by religious affiliation.
Fig 2.
Violin plots of students’ average interest in taking an elective course on evolution, doing undergraduate research on evolution, studying evolution as part of their career, and becoming an evolutionary biologist. The violin shapes are the densities of the data at each point on the y-axis. The solid black lines are the medians, and the top and bottom broken lines are the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data.
Table 4.
The mean and standard deviation of students’ aggregated interest in taking an elective course on evolution, interest in conducting research on evolution as an undergraduate, interest in a career involving research on evolution, and interest in becoming an evolutionary biologist.
Table 5.
Proportion of students that believe life on Earth shares a common ancestor disaggregated by religious affiliation.
Fig 3.
Violin plots of students’ (A) human evolution acceptance scores, (B) macroevolution acceptance scores and (C) microevolution acceptance scores disaggregated by religious affiliation. The violin shapes are the densities of the data at each point on the y-axis. The solid black lines are the medians, and the top and bottom broken lines are the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data. When there is not line for the median or 25th percentile this means those values overlap with the minimum value of the scale.
