Abstract | People aim to diversify choices evenly resulting in a phenomenon coined “partition
dependence” - partitioning options in a choice-set leads people to diversify allocations across
and within partitions. We conducted a pre-registered replication and extensions of
Experiments 1, 2, and 5 from the seminal paper on partition dependence by Fox et al. (2005)
with an American online Amazon Mechanical Turk sample ( N = 607). We found support for
partition dependence in replication of Study 1 (original: d = 3.54, 95%CI [3.10, 3.98],
replication: d = 2.12, 95% CI [1.92, 2.32]), support in Study 2 (original: d = 1.34 [0.56, 2.12],
replication: d = .43, 95% CI [.27, .59]), and mixed support in Study 5 (original partition
dependence: Wald x^2=23.57, p <.0001, replication: Wald x^2= 26.6, p <.001; original
expertise: Wald x^2= 7.62, p < .0001, replication: Wald x^2= .04, p = .84). Thus, we
conclude empirical support for the partition dependence hypothesis and failed support in the
expertise hypothesis. Extending the replication, we examined the desire for choice diversity
to test and found no support as a predictor of partition dependence. Materials, data, and code
are available on the OSF: https://osf.io/fujsv/ .
