In each sample, three domains were endorsed by at least 50% of participants Which three domains were endorsed varied across samples. • Study 1: 279 Amazon Mechanical Turk workers • Study 2: 135 midshipmen from USNA • Study 3: 214 undergraduate psychology students

  21. Rank These Domains in Order of Their Importance Each domain endorsed as “most important” by a significant (>5%) portion of participants.
