“…One outcome of these efforts was a set of recommendations regarding "best practices" for asking lay audiences about the economic structure of society, including 1) limiting the number of group comparisons, 2) avoiding reliance on math and in particular, percentages, and 3) basing accuracy judgements only on high quality benchmark economic data (Davidai, 2018;Eriksson & Simpson, 2012, 2013Swan et al, 2017). Drawing on these recommendations, our prior work (Kraus, Onyeador, Daumeyer, Rucker, & Richeson, 2019;Kraus, Rucker, & Richeson, 2017;Kuo, Kraus, & Richeson, 2020) solicited estimates of racial economic equality with variations on the basic question, "If the average White family has $100 of some resource (e.g., wealth, income, wages), how much does the average Black family have?" Using a 0-200 rating scale, this question method relies on a single comparison between two groups, limited mathematical calculation, and represents the resource values as whole numbers rather than percentages.…”
