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

[Vito] disagrees with many of the government’s policies, and is very
careful about whom he says this to, reserving his real opinions for family
and close friends only. He knows several men who have been taken away
by government officials for saying negative things in public.
