One-way ANOVAs comparing positivity and negativity parameters in schizophrenia and control groups
| SZ | CN | Test statistic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positivity intercept | 45.38 (24.86) | 52.91 (21.06) |
F(1, 92) = 2.47, p = 0.12, = 0.03 |
| Negativity intercept | 30.41 (30.25) | 11.19 (12.60) |
F(1, 92) = 16.30, p < 0.001, = 0.15 |
| Positivity slope | −0.15 (1.06) | 0.06 (0.26) |
F(1, 92) = 1.72, p = 0.19, = 0.02 |
| Negativity slope | 0.29 (1.38) | 0.03 (0.19) |
F(1, 92) = 1.73, p = 0.19, = 0.02 |
| Positivity offset Difference score | 14.97 (46.66) | 41.72 (30.07) |
F(1, 92) = 10.86, p = 0.001, = 0.11 |
| Negativity bias difference score | 0.44 (1.73) | −0.03 (0.40) |
F(1, 92) = 3.37, p = 0.07, = 0.04 |
Note. SZ, schizophrenia group; CN, control group. Positivity Offset Difference Score = Positivity Intercept – Negativity Intercept. Negativity Bias Difference Score = Negativity slope –positivity slope. Values reflect mean (s.d.) unless otherwise indicated.
