16,990 rated or chosen profiles from 142 respondents, in up to 60 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 8 attributes.
One of 2 tables from the same source; this one is the immigrant table. The others are listed under Related tables.
| Description | Duke lab participants (eye-tracking, Jun-Sep 2022, n=142) chose between two hypothetical immigrants applying for US residency (age, gender, language, migration type, origin, job, education, reason for settling); 60 pairs each in four within-subject conditions that add incongruent or nonsensical profiles. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): attribute level sets differ by trial_condition (article sec. 3.1: conditions required changing the attribute levels); the Normal condition's sets contain no odd combinations, the others allow them; e.g. origin France/Japan only in Nonsensical/Combined, Cuba/Russia only in Normal/Incongruent; U.S. graduate school only in Nonsensical/Combined. Within a condition levels are independent and uniform (article), so pooled level shares are unequal by construction; condition on trial_condition |
| Task order | recorded in the deposit |
| Profile position | recorded in the deposit |
Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.

The layout (one row per respondent, task and profile; choice/rating outcomes; attr_ columns holding each attribute level as displayed) is defined in the IRW conjoint standard. What the outcomes asked is under Design above.
