Beauty ratings in Study 2 (a) and 3 (b) grouped by Category (i.e., human-made vs. natural) and type of the response (i.e., event-contingent vs. random notification). Beauty ratings tended to be higher for natural than for human-made experiences. Event-contingent responses were overall rated higher in both Study 2 and 3. For Study 2 this was the case in either category. Jittered dots represent individual responses; here we can observe that (1) participants rarely used the event-contingent option, and (2) that human-made experiences were more common than natural ones.
