DESIGN
<br>
Participants will be randomly divided into two groups – cities in a war zone X beach resorts in Turkish Riviera. They will be asked to read a short vignette describing a hypothetical scenario and then judge dangerousness of cities/resorts based on their names. The names were selected such that half of them is easy to pronounce and half is hard to pronounce. The names are the same for both scenarios.
<br>In order to test an additional hypothesis, half of the participants in each group will have a prompt inserted to their instruction asking them to read the names carefully.
