Within-participant repeated measures ANOVAs comparing three task conditions for differences in correct responses and reaction times.

Variable	Baseline mean (SD)	Post-GSI mean (SD)	Post-ASI mean (SD)	F(2, 24)	P
MS CR	74.70 (6.05)	74.98 (8.60)	67.03 (10.00)	3.59	0.04
MS RT	2187 (289)	2075 (283)	2008 (220)	10.13	0.01
Age CR	73.85 (11.57)	74.62 (14.06)	73.85 (11.39)	0.04	0.97
Age RT	2102 (244)	2038 (215)	1998 (317)	1.28	0.20

Abbreviations: MS, mental state judgments; age, age judgments; CR, percentage of correct responses; RT, reaction times in milliseconds; GSI, general stress induction; ASI, attachment stress induction. Post-hoc paired samples comparisons for CR in MS: significant differences in CR between baseline and post-ASI [t₍₁₂₎ = 2.30, p < 0.05] and between post-GSI and post-ASI [t₍₁₂₎ = 2.20, p < 0.05] with highest CR at baseline and lowest post-ASI. Post-hoc t-tests for RT during MS: significant differences between baseline and post-GSI [t₍₁₂₎ = 4.12, p < 0.01] and between baseline and post-ASI [t₍₁₂₎ = 3.65, p < 0.01] with longest reaction times at baseline and RT times post-ASI.
