Primary Outcomes (explanation)
1. The outcome of primary interest is the difference in the counts produced by the control subsample (the one with only 4 non-sensitive items) and by the “treatment” subsample (where the fifth item is either the United States or Russia). This difference will enable the researcher to estimate the share of the population of Russia and the United States that have favorable opinions of the other country. Additionally, the difference in counts between the control subsample and the subsample with the fifth non-sensitive item (on finding money) will provide leverage in assessing the extent to which (or whether) the outcome of primary interest (country favorability) is driven by the addition of the item of interest (the name of the country) as opposed to other features of the experimental design.
2. The outcome of primary interest consists of the differences in the frequencies of choices from among the response options among the different treatment subsamples, and the degree to which differences are stronger or weaker depending on (moderated by) factors including age, gender, education, nationality, the extent to which people are informed about foreign affairs, media consumption patterns, prior exposure to the other country, economic perceptions, and partisanship.
3. The outcome of primary interest is the degree to which switching reference points among the US, the EU, and the West generates differences in the probability of responses denoting hostility.
4. The outcome of primary interest consists of the differences in the frequencies of choices from among the response options among the different treatment subsamples, and the degree to which differences are stronger or weaker depending on (moderated by) factors including age, gender, education, nationality, the extent to which people are informed about foreign affairs, media consumption patterns, prior exposure to the other country, economic perceptions, partisanship, and self-reported favorability to Russia/US.
