Subliminal priming with subliminal reward stimuli

Experimental group

Description:

This intervention consisted of five presentations \[three cycles of mosaic (displayed for 117 ms each), physical exertion words as subliminal priming (displayed for 17 ms), and positive words as subliminal reward (displayed for 17 ms)\]. These were set to 1 package. 1 package is 24 times per 5 seconds presented in the animation (Animation of Skateboarding) for approximately 2 min.

Treatment:

Other: Subliminal priming with subliminal reward stimuli

Subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli

Experimental group

Description:

This intervention consisted of four presentations \[two cycles of mosaic (displayed for 117 ms each), physical exertion words as subliminal prime (displayed for 17 ms), and positive words as supraliminal reward (displayed for 150 ms)\]. These were set to 1 package. 1 package is 24 times per 5 seconds presented in the animation (Animation of Skateboarding) for approximately 2 min.
