The purpose of this study is to explore heterogeneity in the extent to which people show the 'kids these days' effect, the belief that children of the present are objectively deficient compard to children of the past. Specifically, we will test whether there is a relationship between people's implicit theories of how much they have changed on a trait and the extent to which they believe children of today are deficient in that domain. We will collect 1500 participants, drawn in a stratified way with unequal probabilities of selection, so that the people who complete each survey will resemble the nation's adult population (according to the most recently available Current Population Survey, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau) in terms of gender, age, education, ethnicity (Hispanic vs. not), race (allowing each respondent to select more than one race), region, and income. At the end of the study, we will adminsiter a seriousness check: It would be very helpful if you could tell us at this point whether you have taken part seriously, so that we can use your answers for our scientific analysis, or whether you were just clicking through to take a look at the survey? You will still be compensated no matter your answer. [I have participated in this survey seriously=0/I have just clicked through, please throw my data away=1] and a captcha. Any participant who indicates they just clicked through or who fail the captcha will not be included.
