A little side note: we found no evidence that identity expression and representing facts were anything but unimodally distributed. You might think beliefs either represent facts or don't. But, at least in this study, many occupied an intermediate space.

Since participants only rated one belief it was quick -- 8 evidence scales, 2-4 minutes.

In all honesty, we were surprised to see a robust two-factor solution. We had wondered whether the items might all load on the same factor!
