Wiki Version:
Experiment 2 can be considered a conceptual replication of Experiment 1, in which we explored the effects of reporting style on the reliability and credibility of police records and the interrogated suspects. In Experiment 2, participants will read a police report that is either written in the [recontextualize][1], the [question-answer][2], or the [monologue style][3]. As was the case with the police report we used in Experiment 1, the original report was written in the recontextualized style. The other two styles were derived from the original report. The suspect that was interviewed was suspected of robbery. We choose this case because the crime is relatively light, as was the case in the first experiment. In both cases the suspect state he is not guilty of the crime. The procedure is exactly the same as in Experiment 1. Based on the effect sizes of the first experiment, we conducted a power analysis (see https://osf.io/arvs7/). According to this power analysis we need at least 165 valid participants per condition to detect small effects (f = .14) at the recommended power level of .80. Therefore, we will recruit 600 participants. Our hypothesis is that we will find the exact same results as in Experiment 1.
