New Data

Participant 1

  • Favorable to big text.
  • Wanted information on desirable story length.
  • Suggested changing story to explanation.
  • Wanted it to be called "your story"
  • Wanted warning on how important/needed estimates would be.
  • Wanted uneditable boxes.
  • Wanted real coal prices on top of page rather than bottom.
  • Misunderstanding with prediction check.

Participant 2

  • Suggested more difficult quality checking questions. Question One is definitely too easy.
  • Suggested the second similarity question is unnecessary.

Participant 3

  • Removed voice recording mention from risks.
  • Changed "sometimes intuition is right" to "use your intuitiona nd best judgment"
  • Suggested changing the 2005 U.S. dollars for inflation, but I disagree.
  • Added "You will be asked questions about your story later and it will be referred to as 'Your Story One'."

Faults

  • Question checks too easy.
  • Boxes should be uneditable.

Corrections

  • Changed it to "your story"
  • Provided information about story length.
  • Made attention checks on a separate page. Made the last one more difficult.
