“[Judges] thought I performed well”¹	3.1 (1.3)_a	5.1 (1.3)_b	–

We averaged ratings made for the male and female judges.

Emotion ratings were created by subtracting positive emotions from negative emotions, such that higher numbers indicate more negative emotions.

Means are adjusted for pretask emotion ratings.
