Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
I will recruit adults living in the United States from mental-wellness-related communities to participate in a survey-type economic experiment. Participants will be randomly assigned to an experimental condition. All participants in all conditions will be asked to rank their interest in four categories of mental wellness apps. They will then be asked to choose between pairs of apps from their preferred categories. Participants in the treatment conditions will receive access to my privacy-policy ratings in addition to the information provided to the control conditions. One of the app choices will be selected for reimbursement of a one-month subscription. I will follow up over the next few weeks about the use of that app, and I will pay participants for their time. Data analysis will be based on the experimental condition, the app information visible to participants, and controls for the demographic characteristics participants provide.
