From: Red and blue states: dichotomized maps mislead and reduce perceived voting influence
Sample Study 2 Task stimuli for each of the four between-subject conditions: (1) red/blue dichotomous, (2) red/blue continuous, (3) orange/green dichotomous, and (4) orange/green continuous. Within the four, hue varying conditions, the colors assigned to each state were randomized across participants, but the states were always divided evenly across the two hue categories. Participants completed 15 trials, which consisted of estimating fifteen randomly assigned States out of the total Fifty U.S. States. On each of the fifteen trials, the position of the line with the arrow identified which of the fifteen states the participant was judging. Note that the colors assigned to each state remained constant across a single participant’s trials based on the actual results of the 2020 Presidential election
