DOI: 10.7758/RSF.2017.3.5.02. This research was supported by grants from the Fund for a Safer Future (New Venture Fund/Fund for a Safer Future: 03272014) and the Joyce Foundation (16-37317). The authors wish to acknowledge our research assistants Joanna Cohen and Vincent Storie, both of whom took the project on with the very highest level of intelligence, curiosity, and care.
