Figure 1. Demonstration of the procedure of a high (A-C) and a low self-relevance (D-F) trial in Experiment 1.
A. Participants view two stimuli and indicate their choice by selecting 1 or 2. No time limit is imposed. B. A masking pattern is presented for 200 ms. C. Participants' choice reappears and participants motivate their choice on a separate piece of paper. In a manipulated trial, participants' non-choice appears and participants are also asked to indicate motivate their “choice”. D-F. Analogous procedure for a low self-relevance trial.
