Table 1. A total of 635 schoolchildren were individually asked to assess images shown on a screen as being nice or mean (see Fig. 1).
Dl; F | P | |
---|---|---|
Age | 1; 3.16 | 0.076 (M) |
Sex | 1; 0.51 | 0.47 (NS) |
Image type | 9; 24.59 | 0.001 (***) |
Adjective order | 1; 0.01 | 0.91 (NS) |
A General Linear Model was run with test results (nice or mean) as dependent variable, age (3 to 11 years old) as continuous predictor, and sex (boy or girl), adjective order in the audio file (mean pronounced first or nice pronounced first) and image type (A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, D1, D2) as categorical factors. Main effects are shown (all interactions were non-significant). Probability values follow the coding: ***P < 0.001; **0.001 < P < 0.01; *0.01 < P < 0.05; M 0.05 < P < 0.10; NS P > 0.10.
