We present a set of studies the objective of which was to test the robustness of the acknowledgment of earned entitlement effect across different experimental modes and populations. We present three sets of results. The first is derived from a between-subject analysis of two independent, but comparable samples of nonstudent adults. One sample participated in a standard, behavioral laboratory experiment and the other participated in a survey experiment. The two methods returned similar treatment effects. The second set of results relates to a sample of students drawn from a behavioral laboratory’s pool of registered subjects. They participated in both the behavioral lab and survey experiments. We perform a between-subject comparison of the two treatment-elicitation methods but, this time, focusing on the same sample of subjects. Again, the treatment effects are very similar. Finally, we establish that within-subjects there is some consistency between decisions made under the two methods.

我们提出了一组研究，其目的是测试不同实验模式和人群之间获得的应享权利确认的稳健性。我们提出了三组结果。第一个是从两个独立但可比较的非学生成年人的样本间分析得出的。一个样本参加了标准的行为实验室实验，另一个样本参加了调查实验。两种方法的治疗效果相似。第二组结果涉及从行为实验室的注册科目库中抽取的学生样本。他们参加了行为实验室和调查实验。我们对两种治疗诱发方法进行了受试者之间的比较，但是这次，重点是同一受试者样本。再次，治疗效果非常相似。最后，我们确定在两种方法下做出的决策之间存在一定的一致性。
