Can you spot the real one: Consumers’ ability to detect real vs. fraudulent tickets - Study 3

Study 3 examines whether providing participants with precautionary information improves their ability to distinguish between authentic and fraudulent event tickets. Prior research shows that educational interventions can reduce susceptibility to fraud across domains such as phishing, telemarketing, and investment scams; however, similar interventions have not been tested in the context of ticket fraud. In this study, participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a control group that completed the task as in Study 1, an intervention group that received information on how to identify fraudulent tickets before performing the discrimination task, and a second intervention group that received the same information along with the opportunity to review and revise each purchasing decision. All participants completed the same ticket discrimination task following their assigned instructions. The dataset includes demographic information, condition assignments, instructional materials for both interventions, and all responses collected as part of the study, corresponding to the hypotheses outlined in the accompanying manuscript.

研究3旨在探究向被试提供防诈骗提示信息，是否能够提升其甄别正版与假冒活动门票的能力。既往研究表明，在网络钓鱼、电话营销及投资诈骗等多个领域中，反诈教育干预措施可降低个体的诈骗易感倾向，但针对门票诈骗场景的同类干预尚未得到验证。本研究中，被试被随机分配至三种实验条件之一：对照组（完全参照研究1的流程完成任务）、第一干预组（在开展甄别任务前，接收关于识别假冒门票的相关信息）以及第二干预组（接收与第一干预组相同的信息，同时可对每一项购票决策进行回顾与修改）。所有被试均按照其所属实验条件的指导流程完成了相同的门票甄别任务。本数据集包含人口统计学信息、实验分组情况、两种干预措施的指导材料，以及本研究收集的全部应答数据，与随附手稿中阐述的研究假设一一对应。
