Imagine a software error assigned two people to the final #conference speaking slot and you have to decide which person is removed from the program.
Guess which factors predicted whether people #canceled a speaker.
(The survey respondents were 1540 German citizens.)
"Texts used as framing stimuli in the choice experiment.
IMPORTANT: Research has shown that the best decisions are those that are made [intuitively and from the gut] [using logic and reasoned thinking]. In the following, we are interested in your [intuitive] [deliberate] decisions. Therefore, please decide in each case, as [spontaneously] [thoughtfully] as possible, from which of the two sellers you would buy."
"In the experiment, participants were confronted with a canceling problem. Specifically, they were asked to imagine that they are responsible for organizing a conference on ophthalmology. Due to a software error, two speakers have been mistakenly assigned to the last available speaking slot, and it is impossible to let both of them present. The task requires the participants to make a difficult decision: one of the two speakers must be removed from the list of presenters. Participants were informed that they had conducted online searches for both professional and personal information about the speakers and had a brief phone conversation with each to confirm their interest in presenting at the conference. They were also told that each speaker had made either a politically charged or a neutral statement, conveyed either during the private phone conversation or through a blog or social media post."
