Replication Data for: Perceptions of Ethnic Minority Discrimination: Statistics and Stories Move Majorities

Disadvantaged minority groups can gain support for their cause by convincing majority members of their experienced adversity. This is the replication data for a paper, published in BJPS, where we theorize and empirically test the efficacy of different types of evidence, varying in character (statistical versus personal) and ambiguity (manifest versus ambiguous), vis-à-vis raising majority members’ awareness of ethnic minority discrimination. Reflecting the combination of these two dimensions, we develop four treatments based on real evidence/stories and test several pre-registered hypotheses regarding their efficacy in two survey-experimental studies in Denmark.
