This study is similar to RCMD-108921. (In that study, we randomly assigned participants to consider one sexual identity group in depth -- heterosexual women, heterosexual men, bisexual women, bisexual men, homosexual women, or homosexual men. We kept the adjective structure consistent for all six groups, but we recognize that using "homosexual" rather than "gay and lesbian" has its downsides. Participants responded to a number of attitude and belief items about their specific target group, including beliefs about the controllability and stability of the group's sexual orientation and guesses about the personality characteristics of group members.)<br><br>The current study has a similar design, except that participants were randomly assigned to evaluate two of the six groups instead of just one, enabling us to characterize participant responses in the context of more explicit comparisons between groups.<br><br>Data were collected via Amazon Mechanical Turk from 2013-05-13 to 2013-05-14.<br><br>A value of -99 indicates that the participant saw the item but chose not to respond to it.<br><br>Participant R_b406N6jrCBsjxBj listed their full birth date in response to the birth year item on the demographics page. In the deidentified data file, I removed the day and month from this response, leaving the year.<br><br>I recognize that the documentation of this project could be more detailed.
