About this table

DescriptionDutch adults (May 2024; 1,195 respondents) chose which of two hypothetical conversations about a risk they would rather take part in, over an example pair plus 8 pairs, described by topic, the other person's gender, relation and closeness to the respondent, and the person's apparent knowledge, concern and motivation. Forced choice.

Randomization restrictionsobserved in the data (not documented by the source): Not documented. Never within a profile: relation 'vriend/vriendin (platonisch)' x closeness 'niet hecht'; concern 'niet bezorgd' x motivation 'u te overtuigen om meer maatregelen te nemen' or 'zich minder ongerust voelen'; motivation 'u te overtuigen om minder maatregelen te nemen' x concern 'redelijk bezorgd' or 'zeer bezorgd'. Shares: 'niet hecht' 18% of closeness, 'niet bezorgd' 16% of concern, 'minder maatregelen' 17% of motivation, 'vriend/vriendin' 27% of relation; other attributes near uniform.

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.
