Wang, Zuowei; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Sabatini, John; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021

Auspurg, Katrin; Jäckle, Annette – Sociological Methods & Research, 2017
To measure what determines people's attitudes, definitions, or decisions, surveys increasingly ask respondents to judge vignettes.

When adults repeat questions, children often give inconsistent answers. This study aimed to test the claim that these inconsistencies occur because children infer that their first answer was unsatisfactory, and that the adult expects them to change their answer. Children aged 4, 6, and 8 years (N= 134) were asked about vignettes in which an adult…
