The messages sought to address a particular belief (i.e., behavioural, normative, control) and to focus either on emphasising the positive aspects which make speeding less likely or challenging the negative aspects which make speeding more likely.
Don't speed, speeding gives you less time to react, and on dark roads, this makes speeding become much more dangerous.
Participants made speeded discrimination responses to a series of attributes and bottles of mouthwash (Experiment 1).
In the execution task subjects were asked to make speeded button presses according to instruction cues.
Human participants made speeded detection responses to unimodal auditory, somatosensory, or simultaneous auditory somatosensory stimuli.
Participants made speeded discriminations of single- versus double-pulse vibrotactile targets, while trying to ignore simultaneous visual distractor stimuli, in both hands uncrossed and hands crossed postures.
Subjects made speeded lexical decisions (word/nonword) on dominant related, subordinate related, and unrelated word pairs presented randomly with a short ISI.
Participants made speeded discrimination responses regarding the elevation of the vibrotactile targets (i.e., upper versus lower) while trying to ignore the visual distractors.
Subjects made speeded elevation (up/down) judgments of the tactile stimuli while ignoring light stimuli.
We predict that the same results would be obtained if observers had to make speeded discrimination of motion and noise stimuli, instead of rightward and leftward stimuli.
