17,230 rated or chosen profiles from 3,446 respondents, in up to 5 tasks of 1 profile varying on 8 attributes.
| Description | Single-profile conjoint on cross-Strait peace agreements: 3,446 Taiwanese online respondents (April 2022) each judged 5 hypothetical China-Taiwan agreements made of randomly shown concessions (4 by China, 4 by Taiwan), supporting or opposing each, under a randomized US-support / China-threat framing. |

| Respondents | 3,446 |
|---|---|
| Rows (one per respondent, task and profile) | 17,230 |
| Tasks per respondent (most) | 5 |

| Topic | foreign policy security |

| A profile represents | policy |
| Country | TW |
| Language shown | zh |
| Language of stored levels | en |
| Randomization restrictions | observed in the data (not documented by the source): no agreement shows zero concessions (1-8 of 8 clauses shown; observed); each clause shown in ~50% of agreements |
| Task order | inferred from row order |
| Profile position | recorded 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:
| choice | Do you support or oppose this cross-Strait agreement? (paraphrase) [choice, opt-out allowed] |
