聘请了一名日语流利、英语流利的研究生助理。该助理与首席研究员一起翻译和反译所有与研究相关的材料。准备研究已经完成，包括对现有文献的全面审查，以确定观察到的变量的有效措施，以及确定为拟议的实验室实验计划操纵变量的“最佳做法”。书面研究材料，包括知情同意书、方案和脚本，以及机构审查/伦理委员会的申请都已完成。所有这些材料随后都从英语翻译成日语。

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.
