<p>- Anticipatory anxiety. The anticipatory anxiety will be assessed with a short<br /><br>version (six questions) of the state anxiety scale of the Dutch version of the<br /><br>STAI for children.10<br /><br>- Actual distress: self report. Shortly prior to, during and after scanning,<br /><br>the children will be asked to indicate their level of distress on a Facial<br /><br>Image Scale (FIS). The FIS comprises a row of five faces ranging from very<br /><br>happy to very unhappy/distressed. We will offer an explanation in which we use<br /><br>a Dutch childlike connotation (*van streek zijn*). The children will be asked<br /><br>to point at which face they feel most like at that moment. </p><br>
