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!
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.
Across conditions, the FS results did not correspond well with the real-world benchmark. We conclude that researchers must exercise caution when using factorial surveys to study (hiring) behavior (4)
