Notes

Conjoint table (irw_conjoint_2). Ten tasks of two hypothetical congressional candidates, six attributes (party, ideology, occupation, race, religion, sex); choice = candidate preferred as the respondent's representative (forced choice, no opt-out). Attribute row order was randomized and is recorded (attrpos_). 538 export rows, 508 answered; the choice question is truncated in the export, so wording is a paraphrase; task order follows the authors' script.

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