The first three studies were replicated by Berinsky, Huber and Lenz (2012) using paid MTurk subjects. “Original” column indicates the original sample, of which we are aware, other than MTurk or DLABSS, on which the study was carried out and is not an exhaustive list of replications. The first N column is the number of subjects on DLABSS, the second N is the number of subjects on MTurk, and the third N is the number of subjects on the original platform by the original researchers. A * next to the ✔ for MTurk indicates that we carried out the MTurk replication ourselves.
