survey experiments

Survey experiments are research methods where researchers present different versions of a survey question or scenario to participants to see how responses change. This helps identify the effect of specific wording, framing, or information on people's opinions or choices. By randomly assigning participants to different versions, researchers can better understand cause-and-effect relationships in attitudes or behaviors, while controlling for other factors. These experiments are useful in social sciences to study how communication influences opinions or decision-making in a controlled, ethical way.
