English: Supplementary Movie 1 In order to naturalistically and effectively induce positive mood, participants were told upon task completion that their performance was well above average and that this was brought to the attention of the research director who would like to briefly share his impression with them. At this point, while lying in the scanner, participants saw a short pre-recorded video that started with the launch of a Skype call (e.g., the pointer of a computer mouse is seen crossing the computer screen to start a Skype call and a Skype ringtone is heard after call initiation), which was answered by an actor presenting himself as the director of research. Within the 90-sec long pre-recorded video the actor attributes participants' excellent performance in the caption task to their evidently high levels of emotional intelligence and sense of humour.
