Differences in Liking Between Two People

Part 2: Instructions for Differences in Liking Between Two People

THIS IS A NEW TASK: READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

On each trial, you will see two adjectives, side by side. Imagine that each adjective describes a DIFFERENT person. Imagine the two people and ask yourself, which of the two people would you like more and by how much?

You will respond by clicking along the line, measured as the percentage of the distance from the left end of the scale.

10% from left = Like the LEFT person very much more
20% from left = Like the LEFT person much more
30% from left = Like the LEFT person more
40% from left = Like the LEFT person slightly more
50% from left = Like both people EQUALLY (middle of line)
60% from left = Like the RIGHT person slightly more
70% from left = Like the RIGHT person more
80% from left = Like the RIGHT person much more
90% from left = Like the RIGHT person very much more

So, the more you like the person on the Right, compared to the one on the left, the farther your mark will be to the right. If you would like or dislike them equally, you should click in the middle of the scale. If you like the left one better, your click will be left of the middle, and the more you like the left better, the farther to the left your mark should be.

After a few warmup trials, you learn know how to use the scale. If you want to adjust your response, you can click or drag to the spot along the line that expresses your judgment comparing the two people.

Warmup Trials

Look at Trial W1 below. The person on the LEFT is describee as "phony" and the person on the right is "kind". Imagine someone who is phony and imagine ANOTHER person who is kind. Which would you like more? If you would like a kind person more, you would click to the right side of the midpoint.

W1.

phony
versus
kind

Prefer Left Person Very Strongly

Prefer Right Person Very Strongly

In W2, the person on the LEFT is "sincere" and the one on the right is "mean". If you like a sincere person better than a mean one, click to the left side of the midpoint.

W2.

sincere
versus
mean

Prefer Left Person Very Strongly

Prefer Right Person Very Strongly

In W3, if you think phony and mean are about the same, your answer would be closer to the middle of the scale, but would you like a mean person or a phony one better? Place your mark to show the direction and the size of the difference in liking.
