Example of a trial in the primed lexical decision task.
Table 2.
Descriptive statistics and reliability estimates of epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ scores for the 98 final participants of the primed lexical decision task.

Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between Relatedness and PEUBI-S.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PEUBI-S = superstitions (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
Fig 3.
Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between Relatedness and PEUBI-OP.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PEUBI-OP = occultism and pseudoscience (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
Fig 4.
Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between Relatedness and PEUBI-TR.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PEUBI-TR = traditional religion (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
Fig 5.
Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between Relatedness and PEUBI-ELF.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PEUBI-ELF = extraordinary life forms (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
Fig 6.
Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between Relatedness and PEUBI-CT.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PEUBI-CT = conspiracy theories (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
Fig 7.
Marginal effects (estimated marginal medians with 95% CrI) for the interaction between prime-target Relatedness and PSEUDO-R.
Note. Relatedness = associative/semantic relationship between prime-target words (related [e.g., bulb-light] vs. unrelated [e.g., sock-light]); PSEUDO-R = pseudoscience (epistemically unwarranted beliefs’ score).
