Hypothesis
More political engagement predicts more right-wing economic attitudes than would be predicted by kinship strength alone, and vice versa.
Note
Where political engagement is low, greater kinship strength predicts more left-wing economic attitudes, but greater political engagement pushes these attitudes further to the right.
