Greater force intensity following the decision to exert effort to avoid the threat-of-shock in MASTEXP compared to MASTPLC participants; both when considering run-up and maintenance of force (a), and after excluding data that may have been part of previous (unsuccessful) attempts to complete the trial (b). Note: trial-level raw data (individual data points) and group-level summaries of individual-level averaged raw data (mean + error bars) are both shown. Greater y-axis values represent greater above-threshold grip force (i.e., overexertion) in % MGF. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01. Error bars represent SD. n = 80 participants.
