In the Choice Questionnaire (Neijens et al. 1992) respondents have to
choose between several policy options. Within this questionnaire they
are provided with information about the consequences of each option. U
ntil now, only indirect evidence as to whether or not respondents base
their preferences on the information provided was available and plaus
ible alternative explanations for the Choice Questionnaire's effect co
uld not be ruled out. In the present study, we demonstrate that Choice
Questionnaire respondents do base their preferences on the informatio
n provided: different information resulted in significantly different
choices.
