**This repository contains a PsyToolkit (https://www.psytoolkit.org/) version of the stress 'deafness task' as used in Rahmani et al. (2015).** ---------- **Offline version:** single html file with audio embedded. **Online version:** PsyToolkit code and audio files (from https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0143968.s002). Audio files need to be put in the root file folder in PsyToolkit, no directories needed. ---------- Task procedure described in detail in Rahmani et al. (2015). Audio stimuli are the ones from the above mentioned study. Only translation of the instructions would be needed to run the task with other languages (currently in English). Thanks to Anna Bruggeman and Maria Lialiou for help with setting up the PsyToolkit version. ---------- **Studies in which this task (or similar) has been used:** Bruggeman, A.
