Experimental Design (Public) We implement an online randomized control trial to measure the impact of religiously-induced extrinsic and extrinsic messaging and compare them to non-religious ones in promoting honesty in Sudan. We will reach out to mobile phone subscribers and ask them if they want to participate in an online study. Those who agree will be randomly assigned to one of five arms; a control arm, an extrinsic-religious arm, an intrinsic-religious arm, an extrinsic non-religious arm, and an intrinsic non-religious arm. Participants will fill out a short demographic survey and after that will be asked to transcribe the text in two pictures and write a paragraph about the picture. One of the pictures will vary according to the experimental condition that a participant is randomly assigned to. After transcription, participants will have the opportunity to earn additional mobile credit by playing the coin-flipping game. After that, they will answer a few survey questions about their beliefs.
