Abstract * <p>[IMPORTANT: Abstract, method, and results were written using a randomised dataset produced by Qualtrics to simulate what these sections will look like after data collection. These will be updated following the data collection. For the purpose of the simulation, we wrote things in past tense, but no pre-registration or data collection took place yet.]</p>
<p>The lure of choice is a heuristic that suggests people prefer options that allow them to make further choices over those that do not, even when the extra choices cannot improve the ultimate outcome. In a Registered Report, we conducted a replication and extensions of Studies 1, 2, and 3 from Bown et al. (2003), with a British Prolific sample (N = 1000). [The following is a demo placeholder and will be updated following data collection.] We [found/did not find] support for the lure of choice in the nightclub scenario (V = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), bank scenario (V = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), casino dominated lure condition (V = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), conflicted lure condition (V = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]), and the Monty Hall problem scenario (V = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]). Extending the replication, we added neutral control conditions and [found/did not find support] for the neutral control conditions as different from the experimental conditions [...details…]. Overall, we conclude that …. Materials, data, and code are available on: https://osf.io/e47jh/ </p>
