About this table

Notes

• Conjoint table (irw_conjoint). Paired vignette options (A/B) after a fixed scenario; choice = option chosen, forced, no opt-out (question wording not deposited). 4 of 18 fixed choice sets per respondent (random subset, display order not recorded: task = ascending set number). Protagonist Frau/Herr Müller randomized between subjects (attr_protagonist). Level text German original. The deposit's two code files disagree on which error-type code is skill- vs rule-based (table follows the .do). N 276 / 1,104 obs matches the article; 3 respondents with only 3 sets dropped, as by the authors.

These notes describe the source data, which the IRW reproduces as released. All notes are listed on the Data Notes page.

Size and shape

Design

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.

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.
