What’s the most important belief you hold where the only evidence for it is 1) people’s answers to survey questions and/or 2) people’s behavior in contrived laboratory experiments?

Hmm... maybe beliefs like a survey on vegetarian/vegan self identification or pure sensory tests like response speed to flashing images (I assume we're talking mostly of social psych type stuff, not general beliefs like speed of light)

More shaky stuff, I don't think belief is even the right word for how I hold certain propositions. I "entertain" them seriously is more like it. Like say ego depletion or power poses. Having them falsified does not disturb me the way discovering that the earth is flat would.
