Data cleaning was performed using Stata. Full information about survey methods are availalbe in the accompanying article and the survey methods supplemental data also availalbe on Dryad. This survey was pre-registered with the Open Science Framework with a full description of survey development, implementation, and analysis methods: https://osf.io/tz7ra/?view_only=4b1bc810ef794f7f9bb57240611989af
