Figure 1

God Image Factor Score violin/boxplots for the different groups. Participants with vmPFC damage demonstrated higher scores on the God Image scale than HCs (p < 0.05). The boxes indicate the 75th percentile (upper horizontal line), the mean of each group (diamond), the median for each group (line), and the 25th percentile (lower horizontal line) of the distribution. Each dot indicates a participant. The upper whiskers indicate the maximum value of the variable located within a distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range above the 75th percentile. The lower whiskers indicate the corresponding distance to the 25th percentile value. Surrounding the boxes (shaded area) on each side is a rotated kernel density plot, which is comparable to a histogram with infinitely small bin sizes. The figure was generated using the package ggplot2⁴¹ in R⁴².
