Abstract
The dataset includes data from the electroencephalogram study reported in our paper: ‘Effects of simulated interpersonal touch and trait intrinsic motivation on the error-related negativity’ (doi:10.1016/j.neulet.2016.01.044) (Tjew-A-Sin et al., 2016) [1]. The data was collected at the psychology laboratories at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2012 among a Dutch-speaking student sample. The dataset consists of the measures described in the paper, as well as additional (exploratory) measures including the Five-Factor Personality Inventory, the Connectedness to Nature Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and a scale measuring life stress. The data can be used for replication purposes, meta-analyses, and exploratory analyses, as well as cross-cultural comparisons of touch and/or ERN effects. The authors also welcome collaborative research based on re-analyses of the data. The data described is available at a data repository called the DANS archive: http://persistent-identifier.nl/?identifier=urn:nbn:nl:ui:13-tzbk-gg.
Highlights
● The data may be used to explore how individual differences in personality, motivation, self-esteem, life stress and connectedness to nature are related to EEG brain activity and Go/No Go task performance
Data The dataset described consists of a SPSS.sav data and syntax file with the prepared questionnaire and EEG data, .cnt files containing the raw EEG recordings per participant, .ev2 event files that contain participants' responses during the Go/No-Go task, and a .wksp Brain Vision Analyzer Workspace file and .ehst2/hfinf2 History files used to filter and organise the raw data
The questionnaire portion of the experiment was conducted behind a computer in a soundproof chamber and the EEG recordings were made in a room-sized Faraday cage
Summary
SPSS .sav data (or.csv) and syntax file, .cnt, .ev event files, .wksp Brain Vision Analyzer Workspace and .ehst2/hfinf History files Questionnaire answers were acquired using Adobe Authorware. We measured individual differences such as trait intrinsic motivation, self-esteem, life stress etc. ● The data may be used to explore how individual differences in personality, motivation, self-esteem, life stress and connectedness to nature are related to EEG brain activity and Go/No Go task performance.
