Finally, participants were informed of the repeating pattern and they were asked to reproduce the sequence twice, without the visual stimuli, using the same response keys.
In the imitation task subjects were asked to replicate the observed sequence of movements after having seen 4 sequence repetitions, using the same response box that was depicted on the computer screen.
Using the same response format, participants were also asked to rate the valence of their day dreams (anchored by "negative" and "positive") and to report the total proportion of the time during the vigilance task they spent day dreaming (anchored by "off task" and "on task").
However, despite using the same response elements, decreased expression of Mfn2 induced by genetic ablation of PGC-1β in mice cannot be counteracted by PGC-1α action, as shown in liver, heart and skeletal muscle of PGC-1β KO mice, in which Mfn2 expression is decreased, probably due to the low expression of PGC-1α under basal conditions.
Furthermore, this procedure allows using the same response set across predictor variables.
Using the same response options, the second question was: Do you feel that modern development displaces the Sami culture?
This had the benefit of assessing the variables of interest using the same response scale, for ready comparison.
In addition, participants were asked about their beliefs related to the harm of THS using the same response options.
For example, no negatively worded items were used, so response-set bias may result (i.e., respondents using the same response for all categories).
For items using the same response options such as those in the Activity and Impact domain, rating scale model was used [ 17].
