Notes

This was the first experiment of the summer. I have not felt good about status ascriptions as a DV. I am curious about other outcomes.

Design

This is what I think will be Study 1 - starting where Mooijman and Atari left off.

I asked participants to imagine that they were in a facebook group with the following moral composition:
- HIGH Moral diversity.
- RELATIVE Moral diversity.
- LOW Moral diversity.

I presented participants with the following measures. However, I will ask them about people in the environment, rather than the actrualy environment.

CULTURAL TIGHTNESS.
- There are many social norms that people should abide by in this Facebook group.
- In this Facebook group, there are very clear expectations for how people should act in most situations.
- In this Facebook group, people agree upon what behaviors are appropriate versus inappropriate in most situations.
- People in this Facebook group have a great deal of freedom in deciding how they want to behave in most situations.
- In this Facebook group, if someone acts in an inappropriate way, others will strongly disapprove.
- People in this Facebook group almost always comply with social norms.

SENSE OF POWER.
- can get others in the group to listen to what he says.
- can get others in the group to do what he wants.
- has views with little sway in the group.
- has a great deal of power in the group.
- has ideas and opinions that are often ignored.
- is not able to get his way in the group, even if he tries.
- gets to make the decisions in the group, if he wants to.

Backlash.
- they like him.
- they dislike him.
- he is popular with them.
- they are happy that he is in the group.
- they think he offers a positive contribution to the group.

Report They would report Fred.

Flags They would flag Fred’s message as inappropriate.
