Laboratory Experiments of Configural Modeling

This chapter provides an overview of the laboratory experiments in this study and outlines the numerous methodological considerations for the application of fsQCA, a modification the QCA method. A description of the in-basket simulations and decision aids used in the laboratory experiments is provided, followed by a, step-by-step description of the research procedure.
