: This experiment was carried out with the approval of the ethics examination of Research Institute of Human Engineering for Quality Life (E23-14-1).

Consent was obtained from Macromill Inc. Subsequently, during the pre-check of the communication environment via a Zoomâ„¢ video call, the first author (the experimenter) provided a more detailed explanation of the experiment to the participants and responded to their questions. The participants were repeatedly informed that they could withdraw their consent even after the detailed explanation.
