It's noisy AF. They started with 212 people willing to fill out a survey on Mechanical Turk for $2 but only 158 of them finished. Their data looks like this:
it appears that your "vaccine skepticism" relates to how you answered three vaccine questions using a seven point scale.
- The discrepancy in absolute estimation error resultsbetween the first study and the second may reflect the use of fewerevents in the second study, or it may suggest that vaccine skepti-cism is more reliably associated with less accurate relative fre-quency estimation abilities and a tendency to over-estimate rareevent frequencies.
