  1. There were no other significant results.
  2. *Corrected at the non-stationary cluster size threshold with a voxel-level cluster-determining threshold of P < 0.001.
  3. **Beta values were for the associations between mean cluster rGMD and nationalism/patriotism after accounting for other covariates in the multiple regression analyses.
