Mean and Standard Deviation of the Emotion Ratings (from 1 to 4), by Group (Adult, Adolescent), Emotion (Social, Basic), and Protagonist (Self, Other)

Emotion Protagonist Group Mean Standard Deviation
Social Self Adult 2.98 0.349
Adolescent 2.94 0.397
Other Adult 3.34 0.343
Adolescent 3.07 0.514
Basic Self Adult 3.16 0.283
Adolescent 3.11 0.417
Other Adult 3.29 0.395
Adolescent 3.24 0.427

Ratings for basic emotions were significantly higher than for social emotions, and ratings for other emotions were significantly higher than for self emotions. However, there were no significant group differences and no significant interactions.
