Competing Interests

One co-author (VS) works for the organisation (Eclipse Energy Group AS) which co-funded part of the research (Study 1, which was also funded by UEL's School of Psychology). VS was involved in the initial conception, basic design, and writing and internal revision of the manuscript, but did not contact or suggest participants, nor handle or analyse the data. This does not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
