This repository

• experiments contains the code for each experiment. Stimuli for each experiment are in json/stimuli.json under each experiment folder. You can access each experiment by visiting the index.html files (i.e on your server of choice). Between-participant condition assignment (for randomization) is handled using php/participant_id_allocator.php.
• data contains the anonymized data and demographics files for each experiment, accompanied by a codebook.
• analysis contains scripts for reproducing the analyses and figures reported in the paper.
  • To reproduce all analyses and figures at once, run analysis/run_analyses.sh. The outputs of the R scripts will be saved in analysis/outputs, and figures will be saved in figures/outputs.
  • In each script, the numerical analyses are reported in the same order as they appear in the manuscript.
• figures contains pdf files of our figures (both in one single big file and also in individual files)
