Correlation Coefficients and Partial Correlation Coefficients Between Trait and State Anxiety Levels and Mean Gaze Congruency Effects

Anxiety scale Expression
Neutral (r)
Happy
Fearful
Angry
r pr r pr r pr
Trait anxiety −.031 −.021 .000 .456* .520** −.453* −.639**
State anxiety −.109 −.085 −.015 .450* .554** −.423* −.512**

Note. Partial correlation coefficients reflect the relationship between the anxiety measures and the mean gaze congruency effects for happy, fearful, and angry expressions, after controlling for the relationship between the anxiety measures and the mean gaze congruency effect for neutral facial expressions.
