Randomization restrictionsyes (stated by the source): Atheist immigrant always has religious attendance 'Never'. Level weights: Atheist drawn far less often than the other five religions (796 of 23,945 kept profiles vs ~4,600 each)
Task orderinferred from row order
Profile positionrecorded 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. Task order or profile position was rebuilt from row order; analyses of position or task order should leave it out.

Outcomes:

choicePlease choose one: [choice, forced]
ratingOn a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates that the United States should absolutely not admit the immigrant and 7 indicates that the United States should definitely admit the immigrant, how would you rate Immigrant 1 and Immigrant 2? [rating, 1 (Absolutely not admit the immigrant) to 7 (Definitely admit the immigrant)]
