labelExperiment 1
objectiveTest whether stakes affect knowledge attributions and action judgments by having participants choose one of four response options that jointly characterize the protagonist’s epistemic state (knows vs does not know) and action requirement (needs to recheck vs not) across three classic vignette families.
designBetween-Subjects
design_other3 (scenario: Bank/Airport/Spelling) × 2 (stakes: low vs high) between-subjects; each participant read one scenario and selected one of four options (A–D) combining knowledge attribution and action requirement.
