If you add interesting answers, they will then be included in the survey. The purpose of this market is to get tips on unexpected things that might correlate with conservatism. If you add uninteresting things or things that are already shown by a lot of research to correlate with conservatism, I may remove them at my discretion.

I will be running a big survey on things that correlate with political attitudes, especially conservatism. If a variable has a statistically significant correlation in the sample with self-rated conservatism, it will resolve yes.

I reserve the right to add controls as I see fit when testing the hypotheses. I will use my own common sense about what kind of controls are appropriate for what kinds of hypotheses, based on whether the correlation is still theoretically interesting without the control structure. My common sense might be different to yours. You have been warned.

@mods please n/a. As you can see creator is unresponsive.

@Jack1 with new changes we can’t have mana tied up like this. Thank you

@PhilosophyBear I see you're active - can you please look at this market? NA or resolve? traders need their mana back.

thanks!

@shankypanky I've written to the creator elsewhere too. I'll give them a little time to respond and then we'll have to NA if we don't hear back.

@PhilosophyBear can you n/a this please? Thanks

Any update

@PhilosophyBear any update

@PhilosophyBear can you n/a the market if you aren’t going to do this?

Are you still doing the study?

@JackP good point

I will put it up within the next 14 days

@PhilosophyBear did you do it?

When’s the study

bought Ṁ10 YES

Nearly a year old now, when is this survey happening?

A few questions:

  • Is this just positive correlations or negative too?

  • Which statistical significance test will you use?

  • Would you consider normalizing your significance threshold so that a fixed fraction, maybe half, of the submitted options do or don't pass, so that they're not either all yes or all no?

  • Do options that don't get used in the survey, and options that have all non-troll respondents answering the same, resolve no or n/a?

@kevor Actually, this was touched upon in an episode of "King of the Hill".

"A man should keep his baby maker in his pants, unless he's going to make a baby."; "Thank goodness, I've only had to touch my husband's baby maker twice since we got married. "

Goes along with belief that a numbered, bullet-point argument is stronger than one that is not.

Supposedly correlates with dog vs cat ownership, but I can't find the reference.

The tendency to purchase and collect mass-produced things of modest value, yet think of them as "investments". Exploited by The Franklin Mint, JTV, Hamilton, etc.

Could the mods knock out:

Is, or will be, in favour of banning sex robots

Dislike for lab-grown/cultivated/cultured meat

Both of these seem to me to be trivial, for the reason that they are policy questions that conservativism as a whole has already taken a side on.

Dang, I just thought of a good one but I’m too late “Prefer sitting next to a conversation partner rather than across from them” which relates to a correlation I’d heard of about liberals being more attentive to the direction of a person’s gaze than a conservative

I have extended the question because it's going to be ages before I have the data

Can't wait for the resolution, this is my personal olympics 🙀
