Genotype-specific regression coefficients (Beta), SE, and p-values in the second and third columns refer to that genotype group alone, whereas the interaction p-values in the fourth column test equality of the genotype-specific effects for each emotion predictor (and overall, bottom row). R2 = 4.1% for this 12-parameter genotype interaction model, which does not include additional adjustments for heart rate and its interaction with genotype.
