Procedure
Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: diagnosis/context informed,
diagnosis/context uninformed, no diagnosis/context informed, and no diagnosis/context
uninformed. All participants were provided with a background history of the Client and the
diagnosis groups had an added sentence to their vignette indicating that the Client has been
diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. After reading the vignette, participants in the
context uninformed conditions were given the following description:
You are about to see a video clip of the woman you learned about in the vignette. She is
taking part in a weekly therapy session.
Participants in the Context Informed conditions were given the following description:
You are about to see a video clip of the woman you learned about in the vignette. She is
taking part in a weekly therapy session. Ms. X reported that just before coming to the
session, she was demoted and embarrassed in front of her co-workers. Furthermore, her
therapist stated that in the thirty minutes or so just prior to this interaction he was, 'feeling
tired and was worrying about other work' he needed to complete.
After viewing the interaction, participants responded to the CAS and the manipulation checks
questionnaire to ensure the participants were aware of the information presented to them in their
respective conditions. Lastly, participants were administered the demographics questionnaire.
Administration in its entirety was conducted online in a single online administration.
Access to the survey was restricted to those recruited individuals provided with the link.25
