Experimental Vignette Study on Food Insecurity Stigma and Responsibility

An experimental vignette study investigates the effect of perceived responsibility on stigma toward people experiencing food insecurity. The dataset contains results from 322 university student participants, including 106 self-reporting as food insecure, collected in an online experiment. It was authored by Natalie Taylor and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between experimental condition assignment and self-reported stigma measures.
• Examine differences in stigma responses between participants who self-report as food insecure versus food secure.
• Study the demographic or response patterns within the 322 participant records.

Strengths

• Includes 322 participant records from a pre-registered online experiment.
• Contains a subset of 106 participants who self-identified as experiencing food insecurity.

Limitations

• The study reported no statistically significant effects, limiting predictive modeling potential.
• Data is stored in a DOCX file, requiring extraction for computational analysis.
• The 10.7 MB size indicates a small dataset, likely containing primarily textual descriptions and results.
