Replication Materials for "What Would You Say? Estimating Causal Effects of Social Context on Political Expression"

This capsule contains all materials needed to replicate results presented in the paper "What Would You Say? Estimating Causal Effects of Social Context on Political Expression" by William Small Schulz.

The results can be reproduced by running the code/analyses.R script, which will output all analyses presented in the paper. The file metadata/file_name_crosswalk.csv provides the name of each figure and table in these outputs, as it appears in the paper.

The original survey instruments can be found in instruments/ (except for Study 1, because it was deleted from the author's qualtrics account and so unavailable at time of publication). For Studies 2-4, the study instrument include both a Word export of the questionnaire and a Qualtrics Survey File (.qsf) that can be used to reconstitute the original online surveys (and randomization mechanisms). Study 5 was fielded by NORC at the University of Chicago, and so only a Word summary of the questionnaire sequence is available.

This capsule also contains details regarding participant recruitment in the file metadata/recruitment.md (except for Study 4, which was fielded using an Amazon Mechanical Turk account to which the author no longer has access).
