2.2. Procedure
After providing informed consent, participants completed all
behavioral and self-report measures in a semi-private, screened-off
section of the laboratory. Measures were counterbalanced such that
half of the participants completed the self-report measures first
and the other half completed the behavioral measures first. The
order of behavioral measures also was counterbalanced across
participants. All self-report measures were completed using acomputer program that presented questions and recorded responses
into a database. This procedure maintained participant
anonymity, which is important in light of the sensitivity of some of
the questions asked. Similarly, all behavioral measures were
administered using previously developed computer programs
associated with each task. All procedures were approved by the
Idaho State University Institutional Review Board and were
administered by graduate and undergraduate research assistants.
