This data package includes the data and materials for the three experiments conducted on the project: Memory Retrieval Processes Help Explain the Incumbency Advantage.The research measures and manipulates participant sequential memory retrieval patterns while considering the choice between two political candidates. We find that the order in which participants retrieve information about the candidate from memory is related to a preference for the candidate already in office (incumbent).

Looked at was how the perceived weirdness of disgust sensitivity scale items was associated with moral judgments in multiple moral domains

To study morality in everyday life, we recruited a demographically and geographically diverse sample (1,252 adults aged 18 to 68 years) from the US and Canada. Each participant was randomly signaled five times daily for three days between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. At each assessment, participants indicated whether they committed, were the target of, witnessed, or learned about a moral or immoral act within the last hour. For each moral/immoral event participants provided contextual information on the moral event, and completed state measures of nine distinct moral emotions, momentary happiness, and sense of purpose. Demographic variables such as religiosity and political ideology were assessed during an intake survey upon study registration.
