Original versus replication methodological comparison.

	ORIGINAL	REPLICATION	REASON FOR CHANGE
Participants	Undergraduate students from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and University of Colorado.	Participants from CloudResearch/Amazon MTurk.	Larger more diverse sample. Addressing sample concerns and allowing for exploratory analyses comparing effects across studies.
	Study 1, 2 and 5 were done separately with different participants.	Study 1, 2 and 5 were done in the same survey with the same participant.
Delivery	Paper questionnaires	Online questionnaire using Qualtrics
Questions	The original studies did not use any comprehension checks or instructional manipulation checks.	We used comprehension and instructional manipulation checks in our replication.	To ensure that participants read and understood the materials.
Materials	In Study 5, a class on opportunity cost was delivered to those in the education condition.	A passage about opportunity cost along with questions about that passage as instructional manipulation checks were presented.	To adjust to an online sample, we used a passage that participants read instead of a class.
Scale	In Study 5 the preference scale was originally from 1 to 9 and presented as such.	We adjusted the presentation of the scale to 4/0/4 instead of 1 to 9.	Avoid biasing participants in a certain direction.
Order of studies	Study 1 –> Study 2 –> Study 5	Randomized the order of studies 1 and 2 only, but not study 5. Study 5 is presented last at the end of the experiment.	To address potential impact of presentation order.

Note. Effect size for Study 1 and 2 is ϕ_c and for Study 5 – ; see “Effect sizes calculation” section in the supplementary materials.
