Experimental manipulation
The mean values and the standard deviations for all four experimental conditions are shown in Table Descriptive values of subjectively perceived stress over the course of the experiment for the overall sample and the different experimental conditions.In addition, we investigated how subjectively perceived stress evolved over the course of the experiment, considering only the three conditions that included stress induction (EG1, EG2, CG1). An ANOVA with repeated measures indicated a significant within-subject effect in subjectively perceived stress (
