Note: SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HR = heart rate. SBP and DBP are in mmHg; HR is in beats per minute. n = 14 in the Control and Name priming conditions; n = 15 in the Mirror condition. The means for DBP and HR are baseline-residualized difference scores (see text). Mean response times are rounded to the nearest millisecond.
