Hi Stephen. That’s an interesting idea though I’d worry that by giving explicit instructions might contaminate the results.
I prefer to go the other way...
By feeding questions one at a time we increase tension which increases lifelines used
I’ve not tested the following in a robust way but empirically they work.
We can use a condescending tone after each question thereby increasing tension.
Increase stakes (e.g., public admission of inferiority after X wrong answers).
In each case increasing perceived tension increases the lifelines used.
