Table 1. Commonly used emotional tasks and their test-retest reliabilities.
| Emotional Task | Test-retest reliability | Type of reliability measure | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emotional Stroop | −0.17 | (Anxiety - Neutral) ‘Reliability coefficient’ | 26 |
| 0.29 | (Standard Stroop interference) Pearson’s r | 12 | |
| Dot probe | −0.04 | (Self-relevant positive words) ‘Reliability coefficient’ | 27 |
| 0.04 | (Social threat words) ‘Reliability coefficient’ | 28 | |
| 0.13 | (Negative unmasked) Two way mixed ICC | 13 |
Note that for the reliability coefficients/Pearsons’s r: 0.7 is strong, 0.5 is moderate and 0.3 is weak reliability. For the ICCs, 0.4–0.75 is ‘fair to good’ reliability and >0.75 is ‘excellent’ reliability.
