ANES Message Testing Study

In preparation for the 2024 Time Series, the ANES 2023 Message Testing Study was conducted to test messages to recruit participants. The study measures attitudes towards groups and objectives that may be mentioned in recruitment messages, such as research, universities, and students, and includes question wording experiments. You can read more and download the data on the study page.
