The goal of this experiment is to examine the impact of policy rationale on public support for prison nutrition standards. The main question this experiment aims to answer is:
Does the rationale provided for a policy to improve prison nutrition standards impact public support for such a policy?
Additionally, this experiment aims to answer:
To what extent are participant demographic characteristics correlated with public support for prison nutrition standards?
This study aims to examine the impact of policy rationale on public support for prison nutrition standards. In an online survey, participants will be asked to imagine a new U.S. policy which would require prisons to serve meals that meet the government definition of healthy. Participants will then be randomly assigned to view 1 of 3 different rationales for the new policy, or be assigned to a control arm where no rationale is given. All participants will answer a question about support for the policy.
