Study design. (A) The personalities of the 4 protagonists were varied high low on 2 trait dimensions, extraversion and agreeableness, to create a 2 × 2 factorial relationship between the 4 personalities. (B) Timeline showing the experimental design of a single trial. The text instruction cue is presented for 5 s containing the location and vignette information. The name of the protagonist is then displayed (“Dave” in this example trial), and the participant imagines that event happening to that person in that location for 10 s. Finally, participants give feedback on their imagined events via vividness and accuracy ratings followed by a rest period.
