Note: BD = Bipolar participants; NC = Non-clinical control participants; PA = Positive affect; NA = Negative affect; HR = Heart rate; SCR = Skin conductance response rate/min; RSA = Respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Self-reported PA and NA rated on a 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 7 (extremely) scale. CI: = 95% confidence interval with lower bound value followed by upper bound value. Mean values (adjusted for covariates) are displayed with standard errors in parentheses where applicable.
