12,968 rated or chosen profiles from 1,621 respondents, in up to 4 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 7 attributes.
| Description | Immigrant-admission conjoint: 1,621 US adults (Prolific, June 2023) each compared 4 pairs of described immigrants varying gender, sexuality, country wealth, skill, English, religion and reason for migrating; outcomes are which to admit, which shares US values, and 1-7 ratings of both. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): sexuality wording is conditional on gender: man -> gay / straight (that is, not gay), woman -> lesbian / straight (that is, not lesbian) (codebook sexuality<k> 'gay/lesbian; straight (that is, not gay/lesbian)'); substantively sexuality (gay/lesbian vs straight) is crossed with gender |

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.
Outcomes:
| choice | Based on their descriptions, which of these two immigrants would you personally prefer to see admitted to the United States? [choice, forced] |
|---|---|
| choice_values | Based on their descriptions, which of these two immigrants do you think has greater shared values with the United States? [choice, forced] |
| rating | Regarding admission, how would you rate immigrant 1? A rating of 1 means that the U.S. should absolutely not admit immigrant 1, and a 7 means that the U.S. should definitely admit this immigrant. [rating, 1 (1 (definitely don't admit)) to 7 (7 (definitely admit))] |
| rating_values | To what degree do you think immigrant 1 has shared values with the U.S.? Choosing 1 signifies having no shared values, and 7 signifies a great deal of shared values. [rating, 1 (1 (no shared values)) to 7 (7 (a great deal of shared values))] |
