Note: The first four versions of the scenario (i.e., Neutral; Accidental Harm; Attempted Harm; Intentional Harm) were kept unaltered from the original material (Samson & Leloup, 2018). The last two were created within the same logic but adapted according to the model proposed by Cushman (2008, Experiment 3).
