This is an extremely relevant and interesting study that shows that behavioral intentions measured in survey experiments should not be mistaken for a measure of actual behavior. And it is a nice example of studies that replicate themselves by using different research designs!

New Publication with @neugebauer.bsky.social in Sociological Science! Factorial surveys are widely used to predict real-world decisions, but are they valid? Our results raise concerns when it comes to predicting real-world decisions from factorial survey responses (1)

Important new work by @aforster.bsky.social and @neugebauer.bsky.social. Have been waiting for someone to test this, glad that it happened! Survey experiments often take it for granted that effects translate to behaviour even though there is very little evidence for this.
