Thanks Emma,
At the end of the second session the participants were asked to recollect the actual likelihood of the event happening to them (i.e., the mean probability of the event happening in a matched socio-demographic sample).
Because this can vary quite a lot for each subject, for example the likelihood of experiencing depression is higher for a subject with bipolar disorder than for the general population (i.e. 12%), all the events were also controlled for subjective ratings (see the papers)
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your interest.
Best, Paolo
