Depicted are the mean scores for (a) subjective affective state (valence) of 88 participants, (b) anger of 49 participants and (c) positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) derived from the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) of 88 participants. Graphs (a) and (b) depict mean values for exclusion and inclusion periods during the cyberball and (c) depicts mean values before (pre) and after (post) the complete cyberball task. In (a) and (b) the difference between exclusion and inclusion was significant for both, in (c) we found pre differed significantly from post, positive from negative affect and the interaction between pre-post and post-negative affect was also significant, driven by a more pronounced decrease in positive affect compared to negative affect.
