A graduate assistant was hired who has native fluency in Japanese and is fluent in English. The assistant worked with the principal investigator in translation and backtranslation of all research-related materials. Preparatory research was completed, including comprehensive review of existing literature to identify valid measures of the observed variables as well as to identify "best practices" for the planned manipulation of variables for the proposed laboratory experiments. Written study materials, including informed consent, protocols, and scripts, were completed as was the application for the institutional review / ethics board. All of these materials were subsequently translated from English into Japanese.
