Note. Evaluation statements values are the mean of reported scores on a 7-point scale (0 = not at all, 6 = very much—Statements 1, 3, and 4, 0 = very boring, 6 = very interesting—Statement 2). Valence values are the mean of reported scores on a single-item 11-point scale (−5 = very bad, +5 = very good). Arousal values are the mean of reported scores on a single-item 7-point scale (0 = low arousal, 6 = high arousal). SD = standard deviation.
a
Excludes two outliers with changes >3 SDs from the mean.
b
Excludes one outlier with changes >3 SDs from the mean.
