Planned Number of Observations 200 Prolific recruiters each reviewing 8 profiles 50 PhD student recruiters each reviewing 8 profiles 200 Prolific recruiters each reviewing 6 profiles 50 PhD student recruiters each reviewing 6 profiles
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms The randomization will be done at individual evaluation level. However, given our randomization method, the expected number of observations falling in different conditions will be: (1) 750 AI-generated and identified (2) 250 AI-generated but not detected (3) 750 human-generated and recognized (4) 250 human-generated but mistaken as AI-generated The randomization will be done at individual evaluation level. However, given our randomization method, the expected number of observations falling in different conditions will be: (1) 562 AI-generated and identified (2) 188 AI-generated but not detected (3) 562 human-generated and recognized (4) 188 human-generated but mistaken as AI-generated
Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes Given our pilot study results which tests the effect of perceived use, given the mean value of the baseline overall evaluation (human-generated) is 6.14, and the standard deviation is 1.74, to observe a 0.2 sd treatment effect with 95% significance level and 80% power, we need at least 389 observations per group. If each recruiter evaluates 8 profiles, we need at least 98 recruiters.

If each recruiter evaluates 6 profiles, we need at least 130 recruiters.
