(2003). A Scenario-Based Scale of Willingness to Forgive. Individual Differences Research, 1(3), 201-217. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scale presents 12 scenarios of personal transgressions and have participant rate their willingness to forgive on a 7-point Likert Scale. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 4 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA OUTPUT DICTIONARY ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fields in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'willingnesstoforgive_raw*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) build: The specific Inquisit version used (the 'build') that was run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) date, time: date and time script was run subject, group: with the current subject/groupnumber session: with the current session id blockCode, blockNum: the name and number of the current block (built-in Inquisit variable) trialCode, trialNum: the name and number of the currently recorded trial (built-in Inquisit variable) Note: trialNum is a built-in Inquisit variable; it counts all trials run; even those that do not store data to the data file such as feedback trials. Thus, trialNum may not reflect the number of main trials run per block. stimulusItem: the presented stimuli in order of trial presentation response: the participant's response (scancode of response buttons) correct: accuracy of response: 1 = correct response; 0 = otherwise latency: the response latency (in ms);measured from: onset of scenario (2) Summary data file: 'willingnesstoforgive_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectId: assigned subject id number groupId: assigned group id number sessionId: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) total: sum of all 12 ratings meanRating: mean rating (1 = not at all willing to forgive....7 = completely willing to forgive) minRating: minimum rating score selected maxRating: maximum rating score selected meanRT: mean latency (in ms) of rating ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Participants are asked to read 12 scenarios (presented one at a time) involving a variety of transgressions and rate their likelihood to forgive on a 7-point Likert Scale. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ STIMULI ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ scenarios taken from DeShea (2003)
