In section 1.4, a much more concrete version of an incompatibility argument was set out, which, rather than appealing to the mere existence of some evil or other, appealed to specific types of evil in particular, situations where animals die agonizing deaths in forest fires, or where children undergo lingering suffering and eventual death due to cancer.
Because we are testing the effect of abstract versus concrete framing of the same behavior, we recruited a separate group of 40 participants from Amazon Mechanical Turk to complete a pretest, measuring whether the abstract and concrete version of each behavior correspond to each other.
As for Experiment 1, we conducted a pretest of these items to determine whether the abstract and concrete versions of each behavior were perceived to correspond to each other as intended.
For the main experiment, we added abstract and concrete versions of two filler items (i.e. having an unusually large brain size; having a brain tumor) to allow for attention and comprehension checks.
However, the concrete versions of ontological contextualism, by attempting to motivate the contextual feature, ruin FM.
The second block contained the abstract versions of the concrete items from the first block, and the concrete versions of the abstract items from the first block.
That is, participants rated both the abstract and concrete versions of each item, with the two versions in separate halves of the experiment in a counterbalanced order.
As in Experiment 1, the items were counterbalanced so that the abstract and concrete versions of the same item appeared in separate halves of the experiment.
