Supporting data for "Reaction to Information in Financial Markets and Its Effect"

To study the reactions of funders to inconsistent information and how they interpret it, we collected data for this study. A total of 245 subjects, simulating funders, provided ratings for 199 peer-to-peer funding requests, each depicted by a narrative (soft message) and a score (hard message). The dataset was collected from eight series of surveys (questionnaires), with each series containing three types of surveys: both direct and indirect hard messages, only direct hard messages, and only indirect hard messages. Additionally, we collected information about the experience in investment and product preferences of the subjects in the dataset. The dataset mainly includes the ratings, experience, preference of the subjects.
