Vignette Study
1 token / session
Scenario-based judgement: show a short written or illustrated scenario, then ask participants to rate or choose. AI-generated scenarios optional.
Choose this if
you run moral dilemmas, clinical judgement, hiring scenarios, policy preference studies or any between-subjects scenario comparison.
Results look like
mean Likert / choice rates per vignette condition with between-subjects comparison – »condition A mean rating: 4.2, condition B: 3.1 (d=0.62)«.
Try it yourself
Scenario \u00b7 item 1 of 3
Imagine you are reviewing an application from a junior researcher. They have excellent grades, three publications, and a strong recommendation from their advisor. Their research proposal is ambitious and well-structured, but requires specialised equipment your lab does not currently own.
How likely would you be to accept this application?
Starter templates
Vignette study – starter
Scenario-based judgement. Participants read a short vignette and rate it on one or more Likert items. AI-generated scenarios optional.
Bakker-ready vignette – starter
Scenario-judgement study wired for Bakker recruitment. PANEL_JWT completion code with the panel participant ID embedded; webhook verification at /api/v1/completion-codes/verify.
Moral dilemma – starter
Trolley-family scenarios contrasting harm as a means with harm as a foreseen side effect. Both versions hold the outcome constant (one life against five), so the acceptability difference isolates the means/side-effect manipulation. Run between-subjects if you want each participant naive to the contrast.
Hiring vignette – starter
Identical candidate profile presented with one varied attribute. Everything except the manipulated attribute is held constant, so rating differences are attributable to it. Add or swap candidate versions to suit your design, and run between-subjects so participants do not infer the manipulation.
Clinical judgement – starter
Short clinical case followed by rating items on urgency, diagnostic confidence and management choice. Written for clinically trained samples; this scaffold is a teaching example, not a validated instrument – replace the case with your own material and have it reviewed before fielding.
