Figure 1. — Internal consistency indicates the reliability of responses within each time point, while intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) indicate the reliability across both time points. Note that assessment of internal consistency was not possible for fear ratings as only two ratings (pre, post) were available. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals and indicate significance, when zero is not included in the interval. The y-axis comprises the different phases or phase operationalizations. In the literature, internal consistency is often interpreted using benchmarks (Kline, 2013) for unacceptable (<0.5), poor (>0.5 but <0.6), questionable (>0.6 but <0.7), acceptable (>0.7 but <0.8), good (>0.8 but <0.9), and excellent (≥0.9). Common benchmarks in the literature for ICCs are poor (<0.5), moderate (>0.5 but <0.75), good (>0.75 but <0.9), and excellent (≥0.9) (Koo and Li, 2016). These benchmarks are included here to provide a frame of reference but we point out that these benchmarks are arbitrary and most importantly derived from psychometric work on trait self-report measures and should hence not be overinterpreted in the context of responding in experimental paradigms which bear more sources of noise (Parsons, 2020). ACQ = acquisition training, EXT = extinction training, RI = reinstatement, RI-Test = reinstatement-test, pre = prior to the experimental phase, post = subsequent to the experimental phase.
