Files included: ---------------------------- - Qualtrics template for the CET studies (general, comparable to Study 1, 2, 5) - Study 3 Flanker task MediaLab/Direct RT study (zip file) - Study 7a Qualtrics file (Anchoring dependent variable, neutral manipulation, same DV as Study 4) - Study 8 Qualtrics study - Study 9 Restricted Writing Qualtrics study* - Study 10 Self-Affirmation Qualtrics study* - Zip file of all of the videos used for all of the studies except for Study 6 *for each, one of two versions is online, and there was a second counterbalanced version Still forthcoming: ---------------------------- - Datasets (need to determine which consent forms which participants signed, to determine whether specific datasets can be posted publicly or privately) - Study 5 Anagram task MediaLab/Direct RT study (zip file) - Organizing all files to make more accessible Specific details of (pre-registered) Study 8: ---------------------------- **Methods** - 8 blocks (4 rejuvenated and 4 either neutral or depleting) - manipulations are ~75 seconds long - neutral condition consists of answering easy questions about oneself (2 neutral blocks) and of sorting names of objects into easy category (e.g. sorting words by the first letter; 2 neutral blocks) Sample size will be 80 participants. **Neutral Tasks** The neutral tasks selected were piloted on MTurk along with 5 other potentially neutral tasks. We selected and used the two tasks which evoked the smallest within-subject change in participant's mood (pleasant to unpleasant), fatigue (fatigued to energized), and "motivation" (lazy to motivated) self-reports. The distribution of neutral tasks was between-subject, and changes in subjective state was collected pre-task vs. post-task.
