Study 1 and Study 2 Clause Samples

Study 1 and Study 2. The aim of Studies 1 and 2 was to test the hypotheses described in the introductory section of this paper. Both studies were very similar in terms of methodology and results. For this reason, we report these studies in a single section. In both studies, participants were 200 American nationals recruited via Prolific-Academic who participated for a 1.5 GBP (approximately 2 USD) compensation. We excluded four participants in Study 1 and eight participants in Study 2 from further analyses because they completed the study unusually fast.7 The final sample in Study 1 was 196 participants (89 men, 105 women, and 2 other; Mage = 34.83, SDage = 11.65) and in Study 2 192 participants (91 men, 100 women, and 1 other; Mage = 34.1, SDage = 11.06). The studies used a two-condition between-subjects experimental design; participants were either assigned into a prominent family ties or a control condition.
