Members of the experi<strong>mental</strong> group seem <strong>to</strong><br />
reason that they must not really be afraid of<br />
snakes, given that their heart rate increases<br />
only when they see the ‘shock’ slides, not when<br />
they see snake slides.<br />
They then attribute the personality trait “not<br />
being afraid of snakes” <strong>to</strong> themselves, and they<br />
act accordingly.<br />
Nevertheless, there was no evidence that the<br />
experi<strong>mental</strong> subjects <strong>we</strong>re aware of this<br />
process. They verbally reported the same level<br />
of fear of snakes after the experiment as before.
