The “Any anger” columns give summary statistics for participants with zero and non-zero self-reported anger, respectively, for each phase of the experiment. For the “No” and “Yes” rows under the “MDD” header, the entries form a contingency table giving participant counts. The “RSA” rows gives the means and standard deviations of RSA magnitudes for non-angry vs. angry participants (main effect of RSA, pooling MDD and non-MDD participants). This is followed by odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the partial effects of MDD and RSA on the presence vs. absence of anger as determined by logistic regression. Note that RSA means and SDs are reported here in units of power (ms2), but the variables used in the logistic model were log-transformed and standardized, so the OR for RSA reflects a 1 SD difference in log units.
