Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
The study will be conducted in two phases: phase 1 and phase 2. Below we mention the primary outcomes for Phase 1 of our study.
Personal norm measures of both husband and wife
Social norm measures of both husband and wife
|
After
The study will be conducted in two phases: phase 1 and phase 2. Below we mention the primary outcomes for Phase 1 of our study.
Personal norm measures of married men and married women
Social norm measures of married men and married women

Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We conduct a lab-in-the-field experiment with married couples in urban Haryana for the Phase 1 of our study. We design vignettes featuring a fictitious female character in various circumstances to elicit norms surrounding her employment decisions. We randomize three key factors: the location of her job being offered, her marital/parental status, and her chances of getting the job. In each vignette, the character accepts the job offer. We measure both personal and social norms regarding her decision to accept employment across different treatment conditions.

Randomization Unit
|
Before
Randomization is at the level of a married couple, but responses of the husband and the wife are independently recorded.
|
After
Randomization is at the level of an individual participant.

Was the treatment clustered?

Before
Yes

After
No

Planned Number of Clusters
|
Before
We plan to conduct the study with 300 couples. Since the randomization will be at the couple level, couples form our clusters.
|
After
In Phase 1, the randomization will be at the individual level, and so our study is not clustered.

Planned Number of Observations
|
Before
Phase 1
Sample size: 300 married couples, or 600 individuals.
Phase 2
Since Phase 2 is contingent on the Phase 1 results, the details of the sample size in Phase 2 will be pre-registered as a modification of this trial.
|
After
Phase 1
Sample size: 300 married men, and 300 married women
Phase 2
Since Phase 2 is contingent on the Phase 1 results, the details of the sample size in Phase 2 will be pre-registered as a modification of this trial.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
|
Before
Three hundred couples will be randomly assigned to one of the 18 treatments, resulting in a sample size of 16 couples or 32 individuals per treatment. Treatment comparisons will be conducted one dimension at a time (e.g., when comparing norms from WFO to norms from WFH, the three sub-treatments with variations in marital/parental status and likelihood of getting a job will be combined before comparison). Therefore, for treatment comparisons, the relevant sample size in each comparison is 300/3 = 100 couples or 200 individuals.

After
Three hundred married men and three hundred married women will be randomly assigned to one of the 18 treatments, resulting in a sample size of approximately 32 individuals per treatment. Treatment comparisons will be conducted one dimension at a time (e.g., when comparing norms from WFO to norms from WFH, the three sub-treatments with variations in marital/parental status and likelihood of getting a job will be combined before comparison). Therefore, for treatment comparisons, the relevant sample size in each comparison is 100 married men and 100 married women.
For each married man and married woman (main respondent), we will also survey the corresponding spouse and an immediate family member (secondary respondent).
