across two experiments manipulating practical stakes.

vignette (Low vs High stakes; multiple dependent measures including knowledge).

quote: Two hundred participants (aged 18-68 years, mean age = 31 years; 94% reporting English as a native language;

and compensated $0.40 for approximately 2-3 minutes of their time.

quote: Responses were collected on a standard 7-point Likert scale anchored with "strongly disagree," "disagree," "somewhat
disagree," "neutral," "somewhat agree," "agree," and "strongly agree," left-to-right on the participant's screen.
Responses were coded 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).

scenario:
provenance:
page: null
quote: Jennifer is an intelligence analyst developing a file on Ivan, an elusive foreign operative.
tei_id: null
table_ref: null
reason: The vignette is about an intelligence report on a foreign operative (not bank/peanuts/bridge/typos).
skeptical_pressure:
provenance:
page: null
quote: Jennifer has a source who tells her that Ivan stopped [his low-carb diet/selling arms to terrorists] and
is no longer [jogging regularly/a threat].
tei_id: null
table_ref: null
reason: No explicit doubt/counterconsideration is introduced; the protagonist receives testimony from a source.
awareness:
provenance:
page: null
quote: If Ivan still [jogs regularly/is a threat], there will be serious consequences.
tei_id: null
