It is common wisdom that practice makes perfect. And, in fact, in previous studies we find evidence that when given a choice between practicing a task and reflecting on previously accumulated practice, most people opt for the former. What we have argued in prior work, however, is that this preference is misinformed. Results from a series of experiments conducted across different environments, geographies, and populations show that the marginal benefit of accumulating additional experience through practice is inferior to the marginal benefit of reflection, i.e., the articulation and codification of previously accumulated experience. We designed this study to understand whether the performance benefits of reflection vs. practice depend on how much individuals reflect, that is whether the returns to reflection change over time. To this end, we will select participants who are not familiar with the experimental task and we will then manipulate their familiarity with the task at hand within subjects by making the same participants engage in up to three rounds of practice, each followed by reflection or further practice. We will then observe performance differentials. More formally, the study is a 3 (learning: articulation vs. articulation+codification vs. practice) X 3 (familiarity: from 1 to 3 rounds of practice, each followed by the learning manipulation) mixed factorial design – learning is manipulated between subjects, while familiarity is manipulated within subjects.

We here use list experiments to examine whether political equality is a central democratic ideal for citizens and whether political inequality is perceived as a major threat to democracy.

Public organizations are increasingly providing algorithmic recommendations to citizens, for example, to support how they file a report of online fraud to the police. To foster trust in algorithmic recommendations amongst citizens and for them to act accordingly, it is crucial to provide explanations. However, there is limited empirical evidence for this assumption in the public sector. We will perform a survey experiment to test the effect of three explanations - a procedural, a rationale and a combined explanation - on trust in algorithmic recommendations. We will use a mock version of a real algorithmic recommendation system: the intelligent crime reporting tool of the Dutch police.

Two survey experiments in Brazil that examine the effects of knowledge of social rights on individual beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.

Gunaydin, Selcuk, Yilmaz, and Hazan (2018) provided evidence for status quo preference in resolving mate selection trade offs. The present experiments are modeled after Gunaydin et al. Study 1b. As in that study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: the trustworthy partner, attractive alternative condition or the attractive partner, trustworthy alternative condition. The main difference compared to Gunaydin et al. Study 1b is that in the present experiments the scenarios will describe a situation where commitment level to the partner is likely to be lower.

The Laffer Curve legend traces back to a dinner in Washington involving Arthur Laffer, Donald Rumsfeld, Jude Wanniski, and Dick Cheney. During a discussion about Gerald Ford's tax increases, Arthur Laffer (supposedly) sketched a curve on a napkin, illustrating the trade-off between tax rates and tax revenues (even though many authors mentioned similar effects before, such as, e.g., Ibn Khaldun, or John M. Keynes). Taxation has two effects on revenues: - Arithmetic effect: when tax rates are lower (higher), tax revenues decrease (increase) - Economic effect: when tax rates are lower (higher), economic activity is higher (lower) and tax revenues increase (decrease) This concept influenced fiscal doctrine and supply-side economics, suggesting that tax cuts could boost revenue when the government operates on the right side of the curve (e.g. Reaganomics in the 80s). Many people intuitively believe that as taxes increase, individuals' motivation to work decreases (Rick, 2018). Experimental research has also examined the influence of income tax on effort, with seminal work by Swenson et al. (1988) and subsequent studies, such as e.g., Kessler et al. (2016), Djanali et al. (2012), and Fochmann et al. (2013) reporting opposing effects, both negative and positive. However, there are important problems with those small-scale experiments (such as statistical power, generalizability of the findings, or selective reporting) and this is where conducting a meta-analysis becomes crucial. The current project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of taxes on effort provision and tax revenues in the lab, establish standards for future Laffer curve experiments, and identify interesting avenues for future research.

This project seeks to understand internal migration decisions among immigrants within the United States: What factors shape their decision to leave their current place of residence? And what factors determine their choice for a particular new destination? To answer these questions, the project conducts two survey experiments among a sample of first-generation Mexican immigrants in the United States. I focus in particular on three factors: local immigration policies, economic opportunities, and social networks.

This study aims to reveal what conditions make comprehending passives more difficult than comprehending actives by measuring and modelling reading time and accuracy rates. Also, this study will provide new evidence to the difficulty in passives from Japanese, a language less-studied on the topic.

Nave and colleagues (2017) presented a single experiment (n=243) finding that exogenous testosterone caused a decrease in performance on the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) by increasing intuitive-but-incorrect responses. We report three new experiments (total n=628) that also examine the effect of exogenous testosterone on CRT performance. When pooling the data across experiments, we find (i) substantial variation in CRT performance across experiments, treatment groups, and participants and (ii) variable treatment effects of testosterone on CRT performance across experiments with any average effect being weak relative to this underlying variability – regardless of whether we considered the three new experiments or all four. Given our modeling assumptions, an average treatment effect of a 7% decrease in the odds of correctly responding to a CRT item is the value most compatible with the data from the three new experiments; however, anything from a 53% decrease to a 99% increase is also reasonably compatible. Similarly, a 27% decrease is the value most compatible with the data from all four experiments; however, anything from a 62% decrease to a 58% increase is also reasonably compatible. We explore potential explanations for the pattern of results observed across the four experiments.

This article is from Bioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health , volume 33 . Abstract The composition of the intestinal microbiota was measured following consumption of identical meals for 3 days in 92 Japanese men, and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) was used to analyze their feces. The obtained operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and the subjects’ ages were classified by using Data mining (DM) software that compared these data with continuous data and for 5 partitions for age divided at 5 years intervals between the ages of 30 and 50. The DM provided Decision trees in which the selected OTUs were closely related to the ages of the subjects. DM was also used to compare the OTUs from the T-RFLP data with seven restriction enzymes (two enzymes of 516f-BslI and 516f-HaeIII, two enzymes of 27f-MspI and 27f-AluI, three enzymes of 35f-HhaI, 35f-MspI and 35f-AluI) and their various combinations. The OTUs delivered from the five enzyme-digested partitions were analyzed to classify their age clusters. For use in future DM processing, we discussed the enzymes that were effective for accurate classification. We selected two OTUs (HA624 and HA995) that were useful for classifying the subject’s ages. Depending on the 16S rRNA sequences of the OTUs, Ruminicoccus obeum clones 1-4 were present in 18 of 36 bacterial candidates in the older age group-related OTU (HA624). On the other hand, Ruminicoccus obeum clones 1-33 were present in 65 of 269 candidates in the younger age group-related OUT (HA995).

We examine framing effects in a novel, security-related, and real-world context: The Danish referendum on the abolition of the defense opt-out to be held on 1 June 2022. We will conduct two vignette survey experiments to test four pro/contra campaign arguments at two points in time during the campaign. The first survey experiment is conducted at the beginning of the campaign (week 17 onwards). The second survey experiment is conducted shortly before the referendum (week 21 and week 22).

Join us as we cover Part One of a two-part episode on the Guatemala Syphilis Experiments! Learn about how the US Government orchestrated a series of experiments that would humiliate, exploit, expose, and infect vulnerable individuals with various STDs in the late 1940s. While it initially took place on US soil involving Indiana prisoners, we quickly moved the study overseas where we could continue to perform these tests outside of the prying eyes of our citizens or human services committees.

As deliberative citizen assemblies (DCAs) have proliferated around the world, scholarly attention has largely focused on testing their internal efficacy, mostly in developed democracies. In this paper, we turn to Lebanon-a country characterized by widespread clientelism, sectarianism, and governance hurdles-and examine two fundamental questions: (i) whether deliberative formats enjoy popular legitimacy, and (ii) who participates in them and why. First, we argue that citizens may be willing to participate in DCAs if they perceive them to have a "legitimacy surplus" over existing decision-making processes, such as parliamentary deliberation or expert advice. However, we expect these legitimacy perceptions to vary as a function of the nature, salience, and sectarianization of the policy domain over which a given DCA is conducted, as well as individual-level attitudes toward politics and society. Second, we ask how different design features -- i.e., input, throughput, and output--of DCAs shape individuals' willingness to participate in them. To test our expectations, we trace the perceived merits and pitfalls of DCAs by analyzing responses to a rich battery of questions and two cross-randomized experiments embedded in an original, representative survey. Overall, we seek to contribute to both theoretical and policy debates by specifying the conditions under which DCAs are considered to produce either legitimate procedures or outcomes, as well as the design features that foster participation and thereby increase the representativeness of these fora.

Lawmakers want answers from Dr. Fauci after a report came out that revealed taxpayers helped to fund cruel experiments on dogs involving trapping their heads in cages. Will this be the final straw that gets him fired? CDC Director Rochelle Walensky says that they have an \"education and counseling\" plan for anyone who refuses to take the vaccine. More details emerge about the Alec Baldwin prop gun shooting, but it only leaves more questions than answers.

Replication of Eyal, Liberman & Troppe, 2008; Gong & Medin, 2012: the impact of construal level on evaluation of moral acts. Inspired by contradictory findings of two laboratories.

Near mission's end, STS-60 mission specialists Ronald M. Sega (foreground) and N. Jan Davis stow experiments and gear used in several days testing in the SPACEHAB module aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Though there is much evidence for the existence of affective polarization at the mass level and much evidence that it has grown over time (Iyengar et al. 2019), numerous questions have been raised regarding its measurement and conceptualization. Klar et al. (2018) found that when changing social distance items to describe the hypothetical inlaw as someone who “talks about politics rarely,” desired social distance was significantly lower. Druckman and Levendusky (2019) show that the exact language used for partisan feeling thermometers changes the estimated levels of warmth bias, with “Democratic/Republican politicians” producing higher levels of warmth bias compared to the ANES standard “Democrat/Republican Party” prompt, and “Democrat/Republican voters” producing lower levels of warmth bias. Although our previous work suggests a link between our scale of political sectarianism and numerous variables of interest, we have yet to test our scale’s predictive power when controlling for existing measures of affective polarization. While we have observed that political sectarianism is correlated with warmth bias, and we expect the same to be true for social distance, we predict that political sectarianism will be a better predictor of political attitudes than warmth bias or social distance. In this study we aim to test these hypotheses while replicating previous experiments examining the validity of various measures of affective polarization. Not only will the replication of these experiments allow us to control for different versions of these items, but we will also be able to explore how political sectarianism and its facets relate to these different measures. In our previous work we have only tested the relationship between political sectarianism and feeling thermometers towards “Democrats/Republicans” in order to match the target language with our items, and through these experiments we will be able to test the relationship between political sectarianism and the ANES version of the feeling thermometers as well as other commonly used versions.

Experimental studies that test the scroll tracking method in a consumer choice context.

The purpose of this study is to understand how presenting information about the race and ethnicity of candidates in a table format versus a paragraph format in experiments impacts the way that respondents process race/ethnicity cues. In particular, we are interested in clarifying the mechanism by which tables --most often used in conjoint experiments-- or paragraphs --most often used in vignette experiments-- make race and ethnicity cues more or less accessible for respondents, ultimately shaping respondents’ reported preferences. This is the second study of a larger project investigating the substantive and methodological consequences of the heightened use of conjoint experiments to study the impact of candidate identity on voter preferences. In study 1, we ran a two-wave survey where we specifically tested the differences that a conjoint table format had vis-à-vis a conjoint paragraph format. The findings from this first study revealed that respondents who were randomly assigned to the conjoint table condition rated Latina/o candidates much higher than those who were randomly assigned to the paragraph (vignette-style) condition. Study 1 also revealed that respondents high in racial resentment were more likely to rate Black candidates negatively in the table (conjoint-style) condition over the vignette-style condition. Study 1 left several open questions regarding the mechanism that yielded these different effects on racial cues by condition type. As such, we are proposing study 2 to address these lingering questions. Our guiding research questions for study 2 are: • How do treatment modes impact the way in which people receive and process racial and ethnic cues in survey experiments? • To what extent do different experiment treatment modes impact the type and salience of information that people remember? • How much more or less cognitively taxing is it to process the same exact information on candidate characteristics when the information is presented in two different formats?
