Table 1.

(a) Means and standard deviations (in brackets) for subjective ratings and demographic variables as a function of genotyping group. (b) Mean correct reaction times (in milliseconds) and standard deviations (in brackets) on the attention bias (dot-probe) task as a function of genotype group, valence of picture (negative or positive) and location of target (valid, same location as affective picture; invalid, opposite location to affective picture).
