Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I am going to read you some brief descriptions of people and their situations. I would like you to listen to the descriptions and tell me how free these people
are to express themselves without fear of reprisal from their government.
For each vignette ask:
How free do you think [name] [is] to express [him-her]self without fear of government reprisal? Please circle one option per vignette.

Literal question

[Connie] does not like the government’s stance on many issues. She has a
friend who was arrested for being too openly critical of governmental
leaders, and so she avoids voicing her opinions in public places.
