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. Participants will first be asked what year they were born in: In what year were you born? [drop down list from 2001 until 1918] Next, participants will be randomly assigned to fill out the 'Causes' or the 'What I Had' scale in random order. For the Causes scale, participants read: Children today appear to be in decline compared to the way children were when you were a child. We are interested in what you believe contributes to this decline. Below is a list of possible causes. Please select as many as you honestly believe are contributing to the decline of the youth of today. For the 'What I Had" scale, participants read: Below is a list of different technologies and aspects of society. Please select below all of the items that you personally had or experienced growing up. So for example, if TV was around while you grew up but you never watched it, you would not check Television. Underneath each of the instructions is the same response options, presented in random order: Social Media Smart phones The Internet The Radio Television Reading novels Driving cars Single parent families Video Games in the home Heavy Metal music 24-hour news Dance clubs Nicotine vaporizers Netflix Jazz music Long hair Ballroom dancing Motion pictures Not going to church Online dating Calculators Autocorrect Word processors Audio/Electronic books This list was populated by the authors and a pilot study (see files) where members of Amazon Mechanical Turk were asked to free-write what they believe are responsible for the decline in the youth.
