======================================================================== ANALYSIS PLAN ======================================================================== 1. Data Cleaning: - Build panel from JSON response files (one per respondent). - Apply exclusion criteria. - Compute derived variables: MmryErr, ExpRev, OthExpRev, NormShift. 2. Descriptive Statistics: - Means, medians, SDs by condition (Truth vs Deception). - Correlation matrix of all return perception variables. - PCA of pre-reveal variables. 3. Replication Regressions (R1--R12): - Run on Truth-condition respondents first (clean replication). - Run on full sample with deception indicator as control. - Compare coefficients and R2 to original study. 4. Deception Treatment Analysis (N1--N5): - Compare means across conditions (t-tests). - Regression with deception indicator and controls. - Heterogeneous treatment effects by debrief_reaction. 5. New Variable Analysis (N6--N7): - Add optimism and risk aversion to existing regression specifications. - Assess incremental R2 beyond existing controls. 6. Exploratory (E1--E9): - As described above, conditional on data availability and sample size. Multiple Testing Adjustment: We do not pre-commit to a specific adjustment method for the replication hypotheses (R1--R12), as these are directional replications of known effects. For the new hypotheses (N1--N7), we will report both unadjusted and Bonferroni-adjusted p-values.
