Table 2.

All behavioral results including trustworthiness ratings after each prime condition, difference scores (i.e. index of priming effect) and the pleasantness ratings of the affective primes

	Control	SZ	Difference between groups
Trustworthiness Ratings: mean (SD)
Negative Prime	0.41 (0.8)	−0.15 (1.07)	t(56) = 2.30, p = .03, d = .61a
Neutral Prime	0.57 (.72)	0.39 (.65)	t(56) = 0.94, p = .35, d = .25
Positive Prime	0.54 (62)	0.42 (.60)	t(56) = 0.72, p = .48, d = .19
Mixed ANCOVA revealed Affective prime * Diagnosis interaction: F(2, 106) = 4.36, p = .02; η2p = .08 b c
Difference Scores: mean (SD)
Negative Difference Score	−0.15 (.32)	−0.54 (1.11)	t(56) = 1.94, p = .057d, d = .52
Positive Difference Score	−0.03 (.37)	0.03 (.38)	t(56) = .573, p = .569, d = .15
Mixed ANCOVA revealed Difference score * Diagnosis interaction: F(1,53) = 6.00, p = .02; η2p= .10 b
Pleasantness of Prime: mean (SD)
Negative	−2.37 (.36)	−2.47 (.47)	t(38) = .683, p = .50, d = .22
Neutral	.33 (.40)	.39 (.63)	t(38) = .405, p = .70, d = .13
Positive	2.00 (.64)	1.61 (.69)	t(38) = 1.56, p = .13, d = .51
Mixed ANCOVA revealed main effect of prime: F (2,70) = 5.518, p = .006; η2p = .14; no prime *diagnosis interaction: F (2,70) = .904, p = .41; η2p= .03 b

^aCohen’s d effect size

^bAge, education, & gender were included as covariates of no interest. Results showed no main effects of these covariates.

^cη²_p = partial eta squared effect size

^dp=.029, one-tailed test. Because the hypothesis specified the direction of effect (i.e. SZ would rate as less trustworthy) the one tailed t-test is used here.
