Men randomly assigned to four reparations-difficulty conditions

Evidence

Eighty men participated in partial fulfi llment of a research requirement for an introductory psychology course. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: low, moderate, and high reparations diffi culty, or a noinformation control condition. — Michael T. Schmitt, Daniel A. Miller, Nyla R.

Categorization

• SHARE: Narrow but design-relevant: n=80 split four ways here undermines statistical power for an inverted-U detection — worth noting the underpowered sample given the claim being tested.
• XREF: connects to: Reparation-difficulty levels were calibrated from a pretest of men’s willingness. — Michael T. Schmitt, Daniel A. Miller, Nyla R. Branscombe, and Jack W. Brehm, The Difficulty of Making Reparations…, 44; Reparation difficulty was manipulated by varying required signature counts of 5, 50, or 100. — Michael T. Schmitt, Daniel A. Miller, Nyla R. Branscombe, and Jack W. Brehm, The Difficulty of Making Reparations…, 51; Reparation difficulty was experimentally manipulated without eliciting actual commitment. — Michael T. Schmitt, Daniel A.
