Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
I randomized the students into three groups: one control group and two treatment groups. Each student answers questions about several provided majors. The questions measure their beliefs about the major's labor market outcomes and whether the major fits their interests and aptitude, as well as the students' confidence in the accuracy of their beliefs.
Students in the treatment group A are informed of how the provided majors are related to high school subjects that they are already familiar with. Students in the treatment group B are provided with a list of core courses for each major. Students in the control group do not receive information treatments.

After
I randomized the students into two groups: one control group and one treatment group. Each student answers questions about several provided majors. These questions measure their beliefs about the majors' characteristics and whether the majors fit their interests and abilities, as well as the students' confidence in the accuracy of these beliefs.
Students in the treatment group are informed about how the provided majors relate to high school subjects with which they are already familiar. Students in the control group do not receive such informational treatments
