Before
Field Experiment
Treatment effect heterogeneity:
• Are workers who politically identify as Republicans more likely to accept the unethical follow-up HIT than workers who politically identify as Democrats?
• Among those who accept the job, do Republican workers manipulate the Covid19 data more strongly (i.e., reduce the Covid19 death rate) than Democrat workers?
Manipulation Check
• [Self-report Accept] “How likely would you be to work on this follow-up HIT?” (1-7)
• [Others Accept] “Out of 100 MTurkers, how many do you think would accept and work on the follow-up HIT?” (0-100)
• [Pay] “What is the lowest pay you would accept to work on this follow-up HIT” ($0-2)
• [Responsibility] “To what extent would you feel personally responsible for how it affects other people?” (1-7)
Downstream Consequences Survey
• [Sharing] “How likely would you be to share this graph with your friends and/or followers on social media?” (1-7)
• [Trust media] “How would you rate your trust in the mainstream media's reporting of Covid19?” (1-7)
• [Trust science] “How would you rate your trust in the job Public health officials, such as those at the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), are doing responding to the Covid19 outbreak?” (1-7)
• [Trust government 1] “How would you rate the Trump's/Biden’s administration handling of the Covid19 outbreak?” (1-7)
• [Trust government 2] “To what extent do you think that the Trump/Biden administration downplayed or exaggerated the severity of the Covid19 outbreak?” (1-7)

After
Field Experiment
Treatment effect heterogeneity:
• Are workers who politically identify as Republicans more likely to accept the unethical follow-up HIT than workers who politically identify as Democrats?
• Among those who accept the job, do Republican workers manipulate the Covid19 data more strongly (i.e., reduce the Covid19 death rate) than Democrat workers?
Manipulation Check
• [Self-report Accept] “Would you accept and complete this follow-up HIT?” (1-3)
• [Others Accept] “Out of 100 MTurkers, how many do you think would accept and work on the follow-up HIT?” (0-100)
• [Pay] “What is the lowest pay you would accept to work on this follow-up HIT” ($0-2)
• [Responsibility] “To what extent would you feel personally responsible for how it affects other people?” (1-7)
• [Social desirability scale] Eight items of the IM Desirable responding list (Hart et al. 2015, Table 2).
