Stimulus Expectancy Assessment Tool

The data collected with the 'Stimulus Expectancy Assessment Tool' (SEAT) included binary (yes/no) responses from 435 adults regarding their belief that six different placebo-like agents (e.g., pill, powder, drink) could enhance mental, work or sports performance. Each participant’s responses generated six binary variables reflecting their positive or negative stimulus expectancy. Additional demographic information (age, gender, physical activity, and belief system) was also collected to explore group differences in expectancy levels.
