Replication Data for: Does informing partisans about partisan bias reduce partisan bias?

Party cues, which are signals of political parties' stances on policy issues, have been found to bias partisans' policy opinions toward the positions taken by the party they like. This registered report examines a metacognition bias-regulation hypothesis, investigating if making partisans aware of the potential bias their party attachment introduces into their policy judgments mitigates partisan bias. It employs an experimental design in which subjects are informed that party cues induce people who identify with a party to take policy positions because the party does and that relying on party cues instead of reflecting on the policy content can lead partisans to support policies that they otherwise wouldn't under more careful consideration of the policy. Results show that awareness attenuated the party cue effects in some cases and reduced partisans' confidence that they can infer policy content from party cues.
