Question pretext
I am going to read you some brief descriptions of people and their situations. I would like you to listen to the descriptions and tell me how free these people
are to express themselves without fear of reprisal from their government.
For each vignette ask:
How free do you think [name] [is] to express [him-her]self without fear of government reprisal? Please circle one option per vignette.
Literal question
[Kay] does not like many of the government’s policies. She frequently
publishes her opinion in newspapers, criticizing decisions by officials and
calling for change. She sees little reason these actions could lead to
government reprisal.
