Adult Norms for 0-to-4 Scale

Below are descriptive statistics for 1,234 adults (772 women, 449 men, 13 missing/other; >90% from the U.S. and Canada) recruited via MTurk for Locke & Adamic's (2012) Studies 3-4. Participants were recruited via MTurk. When administering the CSIE online it is more convenient and thus more common to use 0-to-4 scales, as was done in these studies.
