Willingness to cancel the failing plan was measured on a 6-point scale where higher scores indicated decisions that were less biased. When contrasting the improvement group against the thoughts and feelings and control groups, the improvement group was dummy coded 1 and the other two groups were coded zero. When contrasting the thoughts and feelings group against the improvement and control groups, the thoughts and feelings group was dummy coded 1 and the other two groups were zero.
