Table 1. Mean Arousal and Valence Ratings of the Experimental Stimuli.
Valence Category | Arousal Category | |
---|---|---|
Low-Arousal | High-Arousal | |
Positive | A: 4.35 (.41) | A: 5.86 (.48) |
V: 7.08 (.64) | V: 7.03 (.60) | |
Negative | A: 4.91 (.43) | A: 6.08 (.36) |
V: 2.94 (.59) | V: 2.72 (.72) | |
Neutral | A: 3.59 (.55) | — |
V: 4.92 (.41) | — |
Note. A = Mean arousal rating. V = Mean valence rating. Standard deviations are shown in parentheses. No high-arousal neutral items were included. Ratings were taken from published norms [55].
