| Smooth rhythm | Sharp rhythm | Approach | Avoidance | |
| M (SD) | M (SD) | M (SD) | M (SD) | |
| Affect (sum) | 24.76 (8.21) | 27.20 (8.07) | 23.00 (6.09) | 28.96 (8.94) |
| Attitude (M) | 3.99 (0.29) | 3.73 (0.45) | 3.96 (0.31) | 3.74 (0.44) |
Affect (sum) = sum value of the affect scale; higher values indicate more negative affect; attitude (M) = mean evaluation of the 12 ideographs on 6-point scales. Movement shape had a significant influence on affect (p < 0.05); movement quality had a significant influence on attitude (p < 0.05); and the interaction of movement shape and movement quality was significant (p < 0.05).
