Counteracting threat bias: A longitudinal field experiment testing two interventions that expand managerial attention to opportunities under economic threat.

Materials, analysis code, and additional online material for a five-wave longitudinal field experiment with 414 managers during the COVID-19 economic downturn in India. The study tests two brief construal-shaping interventions (Opportunity; Balanced) designed to expand managerial attention to opportunities under sustained economic threat, with regulatory focus self-reported and opportunity- and threat-related voice rated by higher-level managers blind to condition. Participant-level data are available under controlled access; see the Data Access, Consent, and Confidentiality Note in Files.

Abstract

Materials, analysis code, and additional online material for a five-wave longitudinal field experiment with 414 managers during the COVID-19 economic downturn in India. The study tests two brief construal-shaping interventions (Opportunity; Balanced) designed to expand managerial attention to opportunities under sustained economic threat, with regulatory focus self-reported and opportunity- and threat-related voice rated by higher-level managers blind to condition. Participant-level data are available under controlled access; see the Data Access, Consent, and Confidentiality Note in Files.
