    • The two raters independently coded each situation for How much did the person experience or feel threat in the situation? using a 7-point scale with anchors 1 (very little) and 7 (very much). Because inter-rater reliability was acceptable (α = .71), we averaged the coders' ratings.

    • Because the conspiracy and superstition scenarios used in the previous experiments were written from a first-person perspective, it may be that illusory pattern perception in social domains only occurs when the self is affected by or implicated in the pattern. To test this possible boundary condition, we altered the conspiracy scenarios used in experiment 6 to be from a third-person perspective (other-focused) and manipulated the lack of control by using the recall task from experiments 3 and 6. We submitted conspiratorial perceptions to a 2 (control: control, lacking control) by 2 (scenario focus: self, other) analysis of variance (ANOVA, The analyses revealed a main effect of lacking control (F1,82, 9.96, P, 0.002) and no interaction between scenario focus and lacking control F1,82, 0.001, P, 0.98, Separate analyses showed that the effect of lacking control significantly increased the perception of conspiracies in both the othe

    • Focused contrasts are the preferred analysis with three levels of a single experimental factor when researchers have a hypothesis that one condition will be different from the other two conditions 37, For the interested reader, we report the omnibus ANOVA testing the overall variance among the conditions: for snowy pictures, F1,47, 2.49, P, 09; for conspiracy, F1,47, 2.17, P, 13
