We investigated: (a) the degree to which academic anxiety contributes to this gap and (b) the role of country-level income inequality in widening this gap. In Study 1, we used PISA 2003 data (250,000+ students from 41 countries) and demonstrated that anxiety accounts for approximately one-fifth of the performance gap between students with less ...

The sample size was based on an a priori analysis of power conducted with G*Power (Faul et al. 2007). Our analysis determined that a minimum sample of 105 participants could provide enough statistical power (1 − β = 0.90) to detect a medium–sized effect (η2= 0.06) with the given parameters: three subgroups, two measurements (fair and unfair offers)...
Social Anxiety
Participants’ level of social anxiety was assessed with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale—Self–Report (LSAS–SR; Baker et al. 2002; Fresco et al. 2001; Liebowitz 1987; Oakman et al. 2003). The LSAS–SR is a 24–item scale commonly used in both research and practice as a screening tool for social anxiety. The LSAS–SR consists of 2 subscales corresponding to Social Fears and Avoidance of social situations. In this study, we used a global score totalling fear and avoidance for all 24 items. The Al...
Depressed Mood
As depressed mood is the most frequent comorbidity among people with SA, with comorbidity estimates ranging from 15% to 33% (Belzer and Schneier 2004; Zimmerman and Chelminski 2003), we decided to include the confounding effects of depressed mood in the study design. Moreover, depression effects are well documented in the UG literature (Robson et al. 2020) which can conceal or cancel out possible anxiety effects. Participants’ tendency toward depressed mood was assessed by means of the Beck D...
Justice Sensitivity
Personality trait–like differences in perceived unfairness were measured with the Justice Sensitivity Inventory (JSI; Schmitt et al. 2005). The JSI is a 40–item self–report instrument that includes four scales measuring victim, observer, beneficiary and perpetrator sensitivities. The items depict hypothetical transgression in which participants are asked to rate unfair situations in which they are, in turn, victims, passive observers, third party beneficiaries and transgressors. Some examples...
Perceived Fairness
A visual analogue scale (VAS) embedded in the UG task was presented after each decision that participants made as responders. Participants were asked to rate each split in terms of overall fairness (“How fair was the proposed split?”) on a 101—point scale (0 = “not at all”; 100 = “extremely”).
