Study design:
A 2-day experimental ESM study. Participants attended in-person sessions in the morning of Days 1 and 2, and the afternoon of Day 2. On Day 1, participants were not aware of the experimental manipulation. On the morning of Day 2, participants were told they would be completing a Trier Social Stress Test later on Day 2, so they would anticipate an upcoming stressor. Then, they completed the Trier Social Stress Test towards the end of Day 2
