Yes

No
Study design:
Participants first completed trait measures at baseline. The baseline included attention checks and comprehension checks of the daily diary protocol, which participants must pass to be eligible to proceed to the daily diary portion. The 14-day daily diary portion began the day after baseline. Each evening, participants received a Qualtrics link to the day’s diary between 6pm and 7pm, which they had until 11:59pm the same evening to complete. Each survey contained questions on participants’ most significant social interaction of the day. If they did not have an interaction that day, they instead answered questions about a recent significant interaction.

Sample details
Type of sample:
Participants were Prolific workers. The sample was demographically representative of the UK.
Recruitment information:
Participants were recruited through Prolific.co, an online data collection platform. To be eligible to participate, participants must be over 18 years old, reside in the UK, and pass all checks for attention and comprehension in the baseline.
Incentives:
We reimbursed participants through Prolific for surveys they have completed each day.
Participants received: £3.5 for completing the baseline survey, £0.7 for completing each daily diary (up to £9.80 total), and £2 bonus at the end of the study for completing at least 13 daily diaries.

Twenty-one participants were excluded prior to analysis based on the following pre-registered criteria: 1 failed the comprehension check, 11 only partially completed the baseline survey, and 9 did not complete any daily diaries.
