Even with the risk assessment metric based upon financial concerns, water to the ears may still trigger feelings of vulnerability - can anyone think of a way to mitigate this confound? Though I am curious why this effect would be more pronounced in the right hemisphere.
Subjects who know nothing of the study, control group gets right ear.
If the effect is truly only expressed in the right hemisphere, that would not clarify whether feelings of vulnerability or vestibulo-sensory signalling produce the lowered 'unrealistic optimism'.
