The cleaned data set was very nice to have access to and clear—the only thing that wasn’t clear to me was whether any exclusions were actually applied on the basis of the attention checks, and what the correct answers to the attention question were, but this may be in your documentation already, I just had a fairly quick look and downloaded the csv and got going.
Thanks for the thorough response -
indeed if the goal is about doing something to shift Chipotle/similar chains then the chicken reduction angle is unlikely to be persuasive.
Is there any way of finding out from real data whether people who literally wouldn’t go to chipotle started doing so when sofritas became a thing?
Fair enough
Agree with this. I could imagine that over the scale of something like Chipotle, it could be that satisfying the ‘every so often’ plant-based purchase, as opposed to meat, of reducetarians could be impactful and affect how much meat gets purchased overall, but it’s far from clear and not something we’d be powered to detect with all but the most elaborate experiments, most likely
That’s a good point, I actually had not considered people ordering online somehow...to the extent that the study was intending to represent an online experience then yes I consider it more ecologically than I first perceived it to be
Those studies don’t really convince me as I don’t think it’s possible to actually change what people perceive to be real norms (or basically their schemas of how the world is), or what their friends are saying and getting excited about, or the media is reporting on, which percolates organically and affects ones worldview, with small experimental manipulations, so to this extent I think the sorts of stuff I’m talking about are very hard experimentally. Even with an online menu I think people still arrive there having already been influenced by all sorts of things, I’m not referring to explicit advertising that would in the menu or in the store specifically. [edit: but I don’t think it is necessary to discuss further]
