However, the current results urge caution about using temporal production as an index of subjective duration in this context.
These findings challenge an assertion that post-decision wagering provides a direct index of subjective awareness.
The latter was thus used to normalize percent LLL preference against an index of subjective impact of uncertainty.
This approach effectively eliminated any guesswork about reward value by using choice as an index of subjective value.
Most previous studies that assessed QOLI, used a weighted, global index of subjective life satisfaction, derived from the 16 specific domains of QOLI.
A global index of subjective quality of life, expressed as a total T-score, comprises the sum of the weighted satisfaction scores in all areas rated as important by the participant.
Indeed, the complex interaction between objective stimulus visibility, wager size and the subsequent willingness to gamble casts doubt on an assertion (Persaud et al., 2007) that post-decision wagering is a direct index of subjective awareness, despite its intuitive nature.
We subtracted VAS scores in the session when participants ground with metal strips from that without metal strips for each of these six criteria and used them as an index of subjective discomfort with elevated occlusion (hereinafter referred to as dVAS; ranges from −200 to 200) for further analysis.
These could occur at any stage of a laboratory paradigm designed to evoke sexual arousal, have participants assess their sexual response, objectively measure their sexual response, and calculate an index of subjective-genital agreement.
In addition to its ability to predict mortality, SHARE-FI had concurrent criterion validity against a range of measures, as shown by the medium-sized correlations with indices of both subjective (self-rated) and objective (e.g. number of chronic diseases) health, and also with health care utilisation (e.g. number of contacts with a doctor).
