Sino-West Research Group Lab Project #1: Epistemic Beliefs, Religion, Psychological Profile, and Anti-Chinese Sentiment

(Draft): We are interested in the effect of religious belief, epistemic beliefs, and psychological profile on levels of Western anti-China sentiment. Method (Draft): Data will initially be sourced from surveys of social media output, but may ultimately involve mixed methods quantitative and qualitative surveys through an on line service such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Planned experiments include a factorial ANOVA (experiment 1) and factorial ANCOVA (Experiment 2). Experiment 2 may involve other covariates such as SES, age, political orientation, and education level.
