Means and Standard Deviations for Indexes of Rejection, Hostile Mood after the Manipulation in Study 4

	Control Condition	Novel Harsh Rejection	Match Harsh Rejection	Test of Control Condition VS. Harsh Rejections	Effect Sizes (d)

					A	B
Rejection Index	2.29 ^a (.72)	3.02 ^b (.94)	3.08 ^b (.97)	F (1, 105) = 19.07, p < .001	.83	.90
Hostile Mood	1.44 ^a (.70)	1.83 ^b (.80)	1.84 ^b (.88)	F (1, 105) = 6.13, p < .05	.49	.50

Paired comparisons:

Different superscripts indicate the groups are significantly different from each other at p < .05. Same superscripts indicate that the groups are not significantly different.

Note:

Means are unadjusted means. Values in parentheses are standard deviations. The F statistics are from ANOVAs in which the fixed factors were condition and sex.
Cohen’s d are used for effect sizes. These were computed by dividing the difference between the compared means by the pooled standard deviation of the three conditions.

A = control – novel harsh rejection, B = control – match harsh rejection.
