Comparison of “tear,” “defect,” and “rupture” on the three dimensions: pleasure, arousal and dominance

	Tear	Defect	Rupture
Pleasure	7.96 (1.02)++	7.68 (1.67)**	8.38 (0.96)++**
Arousal	3.40 (1.95)	4.00 (2.28)	3.30 (2.25)
Dominance	3.58 (1.88)+	3.66 (2.18)	3.18 (2.07)+

Data shown as mean (standard deviation). Degrees of significance difference based on t-test analyses are depicted as follows: ^*p < .05, ^**p < .01, and ^***p < .001. Each pair of words has been assigned a symbol as follows: ^#tear–defect pair, ⁺tear–rupture pair, ^*defect–rupture pair
