**Sample size**: 766
**Field period**: 09/27/2015-01/22/2016
**Research Questions:**
1. Does informing individuals that their data may be made public affect responses to a series of questions varying in perceived social desirability?
2. Does self-monitoring affect individual responses to information about public posting of de-identified data?
**Experimental Manipulations:**
Change in information about public posting.
**Outcome Variables:**
Variables determined by previous research on social desirability. Includes measures to sensitive issues (e.g. abortion) and measures asked as part of the GfK panel (e.g. income, turnout).
**Summary of Findings:**
Given that our goals were to consider a research question, we use a variety of tests to analyze diffences in patterns in outcome variables by our manipulation and by self-monitoring. We find some evidence that public posting information affects responses to our outcome measures.
