Question 1: Data Collection Please indicate whether Francesca Gino was involved in
collecting the data for each study. For example, if the study was run on her
Qualtrics account, or she managed the (non-author) research assistant(s)
who ran the study, or she received the data provided by a third party. Please also provide
additional information for the subset of studies where she was involved.

Question 2: Have you ever had access to the raw data?
By raw we mean exactly as it was collected. This can mean having
access to the Qualtrics data on the server, having physical copies
of paper-and-pencil files, having a dataset that was sent by a
third party, etc.

Question 3: Do you have the data necessary to reproduce the published results?
Answer yes even if due to an error or some other reason the data you have do not actually
successfully reproduce the published results. It's OK not to post the data, it's OK to
post it only later, it's OK saying 'not sure' today and revising in the future.
