Personal Experience with Policy: Mere Exposure Effect Replication Data

This social science replication package, released by Ivan Petrúšek in 2026, contains one dataset and three analysis scripts. The data supports the study 'Personal Experience with Policy Matters,' utilizing a natural experiment framework to measure the mere exposure effect. It is hosted on Harvard Dataverse to facilitate the reproduction of the original research findings.

Use Cases

• Replicating the original study's findings using the three provided replication scripts
• Evaluating the mere exposure effect using the natural experiment observation data
• Validating statistical significance of policy impacts via the included analysis scripts

Strengths

• Includes three dedicated replication scripts for transparency
• Utilizes a natural experiment design for causal inference
• Hosted on Harvard Dataverse ensuring long-term data persistence

Limitations

• Metadata does not specify the record count or column definitions
• The specific policy context and geographic location of the experiment are not detailed in the summary
• Lack of information regarding file formats and encoding
