    "abstract": "The current study seeks to extend research on motivated\nreasoning by examining how prior beliefs influence the\ninterpretation of objective graphs displaying quantitative\ninformation. The day before the 2018 midterm election,\nconservatives and liberals made judgments about four\neconomic indicators displaying real-world data of the US\neconomy. Half of the participants were placed in an 'alien\ncover story' condition where prior beliefs were reduced under\nthe guise of evaluating a fictional society. The other half of\nparticipants in the 'authentic condition' were aware they were\nbeing shown real-world data. Despite being shown identical\ndata, participants in the Authentic condition differed in their\njudgments of the graphs along party lines. The participants in\nthe Alien condition interpreted the data similarly, regardless\nof politics. There was no evidence of a „backfire‟ effect, and\nthere was some evidence of belief updating when shown\nobjective data.",
