Instructions

Please read carefully. There will be a comprehension question on the next slide.

In this experiment, we are interested in how common people believe certain actions are (for example: going to an amusement park). You will be asked to estimate how many men or women have done the action before. You will report how many people in 1000 have done the action before. You can change the second number if it is more rare than 1 out of 1000.

You will also be asked to rate how frequently a typical woman or man does this action. You will report this in number of times in a year. You can change the time interval (default: one year) if there is a more appropriate interval.

What are the two questions that will be asked in this experiment?

Question 1
