Simple effects tests with Bonferroni correction (adjusting the cutoff p value to .013) suggest that the effect of conspiracy mentality on rejecting evolution is marginally significant for Republicans ( b = 0.57, p = .018) and for unaffiliated/other ( b = 1.66, p < .001), but it is not significant for Democrats ( b = 0.41, p = .067) or independents ( b = 0.19, p = .350).
