Biased belief priors versus biased belief updating: Differential correlates of depression and anxiety
Fig 1
Before receiving any feedback from session 2, participants were asked to use a slider (bottom left) to estimate the probability that they were in the more popular half of students. Participants were then shown a pair of profiles, containing their profile and another participant’s profile, and whether or not they had been chosen by a third participant during session 2 (depicted by a black outline, see central display). After receiving this piece of feedback, participants were again asked to estimate the probability that they were in the more popular half of students (top right). Participants were given twenty pieces of feedback in total and were asked to report their updated judgement following each piece. Participants then repeated this task but observing an anonymous ‘other’ participant whose profile they were shown.
