Figure 7. Linear valence effect and non-linear arousal effect.

Figure 7

(A) Scan path found a significant linear trend across three graded valence levels (HV, MV and LV) in these metrics: edge weight (p = 0.02), peak velocity (PKV, p = 0.01), saccade angle (SAG, p<0.01) and pupil size (PUL, p<0.01), indicating a linear hedonic valence effect. (B) Scan path found a quadratic trend across three graded arousal levels (HA, MA and LA) in these metrics: fixation number (FNum, p<0.01), diameter of scan path (Diameter, p<0.01), coefficient a (p<0.01), coefficient c (p<0.01), PUL (p = 0.01), PKV(p<0.01), Inline graphic(p = 0.11), Inline graphic(p = 0.13), weight(p = 0.07), Inline graphic(p = 0.056), Inline graphic(p<0.01), saccade duration (SDR, p<0.01) and fixation duration (DRA, p<0.01). By F-test.
