As a quick update, I also tried something similar on the EA survey to see whether making certain EA considerations salient would impact people’s donation plans. The end result was essentially no effect. Obligation, Opportunity, and emphasizing cost benefit studies on happiness all had slightly negative treatment effects compared to the control group. The dependent variable was how much EA survey takers reported planning to donate in the future.
