Abstract(in English) The sense of agency is a feeling of control over one's actions to cause sensory events in the environment. Previous studies revealed that the number of action alternatives and the emotional valence of action outcomes respectively influence the intentional binding effect, as an implicit measure of the sense of agency. In measuring intentional binding, we manipulated the manner in which participants could select action alternatives (i.e., free or forced choice) and manipulated the emotional valence (positive or negative) of sounds as sensory outcomes of participants' actions. Results indicated that the sense of agency implicitly measured was influenced by the interaction between action optionality and valence of outcomes in advance of the explicit judgment of attribution.
