Jordan et al. (2022), Experiment 2

The authors studied how confidence in people skill to land a plane (with no experience) and it was affected by watching a trivially related video showing a landing.

Usage

JZBJG22_E2

Format

A data frame with 582 rows and 7 variables:

condition

[factor] experimental condition, one of video or no video

order

[factor] order of the questions, dying first or pilot first

conf_dying

[integer] Likert scale from 0 (not at all confident to 100 (very confident) for the question: "How confident are you that you would be able to land the plane without dying"

conf_pilot

[integer] Likert scale from 0 (not at all confident to 100 (very confident) for the question: "How confident are you that you would be able to successfully land the plane as well as a pilot could"

expertise

[integer] Likert scale ranging from no expertise (1) to a great deal of expertise (5) answering the question "How much expertise do you think is involved in landing a plane"

ease_imagining

[integer] Likert scale ranging from not at all difficult (1) to very difficult (5) for the answer to the question "How difficult was it for you to imagine attempting to land the plane."

gender
