2,530 rated or chosen profiles from 845 respondents, in up to 3 tasks of 1 profile varying on 3 attributes.
| Description | 845 US MTurk respondents each read three stylized crisis vignettes (bridge collapse, budget shortfall, heat wave) about an elected executive, with randomized executive response (control, blame claim, blame deflect), crisis severity (low, moderate, high) and executive party relative to the respondent. Outcomes: approval of handling and vote likelihood, both 1-4. |
