1Mean (Standard Deviation).
2"Really, really happy" = 0 mm; "Really, really sad" = 100 mm.
3Based on completed responses.
4"I told myself" = 0 mm; "the computer told me" = 100 mm.
5Median (Range) provided for very skewed values.
6If interactions/overall test was significant, 4 post-hoc comparisons, as shown by arrows: Cmp Male ←→ Pt Male Cmp Female ←→ Pt Female
w-zWithin one row values sharing a superscript are significantly different.
