  Level B Experiment

  Supports the claim of duration neglect: retrospective evaluations were little affected by duration. Film clips in the laboratory, not real-life episodes.

  Level B Experiment

  Supports the claim that a majority chose to repeat the longer trial that ended less painfully, consistent with peak and end effects. A single paradigm of mild physical discomfort.

  Level D Theory

  Supports the claim that experiential avoidance was proposed as a process common to many psychological difficulties. A theoretical argument drawing on diverse research, not a direct test.
