a Contributions of guilt and obligation to indebtedness in Study 1 (n = 1619 participants). (I) Regression coefficients indicating the independent contributions of guilt and obligation ratings in predicting indebtedness ratings from recalling an event. Error bars reflect +/− SE of the estimate from the regression. (II) Proportion of participants attributing guilt and obligation as source of indebtedness. (III) Topic probabilities obtained from topic modeling of the emotional words in self-reported definition of indebtedness. Emotional words in each of the two topics extracted from self-reported definition of indebtedness are listed in the right panel. The shade of background color underlying each word represents the probability of this word in the current topic. b The regression coefficients indicating the independent contributions of emotions on the self-reported need to repay after receiving help (n = 1598 help-acceptance events) and decisions to reject help (n = 1598 help-acceptance events and 395 help-rejection events). Data are presented as the regression coefficient +/− SE of the estimate from regression.
