answers were scored regarding intentionality (degree of mental state attribution, range 0–5); and accuracy (how accurate was the description, range 0–3)

We expected that participants would change their tactics depending on the various impressions they had formed of the different opponents they encountered during the game. One stringent way to evaluate the changes in tactics was to compute “entropy”

the main experimental task, a body-localiser and a ToM localiser (details of each task are provided below)

One of them is to ignore all these issues and just applyclassical parametric statistics on raw data

Another possible solution is to transform the data (e.g.log-transform, inverse-transform or the square-root-transform) to better approximate a normaldistribution

A third alternative is to remove outliers from the distribution by discarding observationsabove or a below a fixed cut-point, some number of standard deviations away from the mean, or afixed percentage of the upper and lower observations.

Why do shared behaviors, preferences, and choices often have these positive social effects? One prominent view holds that the social potency of shared preferences and behaviors stems from a human tendency to prefer those who are similar to oneself
