Taking into consideration the moderator FAIR t2, the effect of agency t1 on outcome t2 remains not significant (standardized coefficient 0.02, p = .837).837
Our behavioral results showed a significant effect of agency on body ownership decisions, with better accuracy in the active trials.
To ensure that the reported activations, namely the MFC and RCZ, are significantly activated at p<.05 (corrected at the cluster-level), a cluster-size of 1620 mm3 (60 contiguous 3×3×3 mm voxels) for the interaction between agency×context and a cluster-size of 2439 mm3 (90 contiguous voxels) for the conditional main effect of agency in the free context was required.
To correct for false-positive results, in a first step, an initial voxelwise z-threshold was set to Z = 2.58 (p = 0.005, uncorrected) for the agency×context interaction contrast (100 trials) and to Z = 2.33 (p = 0.01, uncorrected) for the conditional main effect of agency in the free context (50 trials).
Analogously, we also computed the percent signal change of the hemodynamic response in the RCZ including all significantly activated voxels that exceeded the critical threshold in the group-averaged main effect of agency and belonged to a contiguous cluster in the RCZ.
The results regarding hypotheses 3 and 4 deliver a mixed picture: while anticipated outcome significantly effects the post hoc perception of agency, the effect of anticipated agency on the post hoc perception of outcomes remains not significant.
Drawing on an agency theory perspective, we examine the effects of agency problems in the headquarters–subsidiary relationships on the design of corporate governance in transnational corporations.
Interestingly, the results of experiment 1 also showed the effects of agency and ownership on perceived anxiety were different, which suggested that the informational bases for these two judgments do not entirely overlap, showing a discrepancy between ownership and agency (Kalckert & Ehrsson, 2012; Kalckert & Ehrsson, 2014).
To answer these questions, we computed a random-effects analysis of the fMRI data to test for the main effects of agency (self-agency vs. external-agency), context (free vs. determined), and their interaction.
The National Environmental Policy Act and related state laws require many public agencies to analyze and disclose potentially significant environmental effects of agency actions, including effects on human health.
