A collection of results from a within-subjects repeated measures experiment with 34 participants. It investigates the influence of negative itch expectancy manipulation on costly avoidance behavior, measured via grip strength on a dynamometer.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between induced itch expectancy levels and measured average grip strength as an avoidance metric.
- Compare costly avoidance behavior outcomes between experimental (high expectancy) and control (medium expectancy) trials.
- Examine participant-level data from the instructional learning and conditioning procedure involving cowhage spicules.
Strengths
- Data originates from a controlled experimental study with a within-subjects repeated measures design.
- Includes results from 34 human participants undergoing a standardized conditioning procedure.
- Study reports a statistically significant induction of negative itch expectations (p < 0.001, d = 1.16).
Limitations
- Sample size is limited to 34 participants, which may constrain statistical power and generalizability.
- The experimental context is highly specific, focusing on acute itch induced by cowhage spicules, limiting broader applicability.
