For
each script, firstly, the experimenter narrated the beginning of the script (two pictures) and secondly, the participant was asked to infer the protagonist’s behavior and to finish the script, by choosing one of three pictures.
These included socially adjusted behavior, socially maladjusted behavior or neutral behavior. The response to each emotional script was scored between 0 and 1.5 points according to the participant’s justification (0 = socially maladjusted or neutral behavior, nonjustified
or incoherent justification; 0.5 = socially maladjusted or neutral behavior, coherent justification; 1 = socially adjusted behavior, non-justified or incoherent justification; 1.5 = socially adjusted behavior, coherent justification).
The maximum score was 6 points in this task.
