Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of conducting AAT before exposure on the treatment effect. Specifically, we hypothesize that (1) the confidence in expectation will decrease in the AAT group after the exposure compared to before the exposure, and (2) the confidence in expectation will be lower in the AAT group after the exposure compared to the control group, and we will examine the confidence in expectation as an effect indicator.
