Hypothesis

Women will have higher results in moral foundations related to parental care (Care) and the prohibition of unrestrained sociosexual orientation (Purity) than men across cultures.

Note

In addition to Care and Purity, women also score higher for Fairness. The results of the analyses consider a false discovery rate. The first significance is from Study 1 and the second one is from Study 2.
