Experimental Procedure of Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. Participants were given some general information with respect to the structure of the experiment, then they were asked to read one of the six possible scenarios (randomly assigned). In the next phase, before taking part in the decision task, participants received the instruction (i.e., ITC in Experiment 1 and PD in Experiment 2). Finally, participants were asked to evaluate the story they read at the beginning of the experiment, according to the different emotions (i.e., anger, fear, sadness, moral and physical disgust), and were asked to provide some demographical information.
