Details

To what extent can subtle cues influence political attitudes? In this study, participants were asked to look at photos to estimate the time of day they were taken. For some participants, 2 of the 4 photos were of the U.S.A. flag ("flag prime"). For the rest, all 4 photos were of neutral objects ("no prime").

Next, for what seemed like an unrelated study, participants completed a short 8-item questionairre about political beliefs (each rated on a scale from 1-7, where higher numbers represent more conservative attitudes).

The research question is: to what extent does flag exposure alter political attitudes?

This is summary data from a number of different labs which attempted to replicate this project. The data is for U.S. labs only, as priming wih the U.S. flag may not have the same effect in other countries:
