Note. See Figure 1 (left) for descriptive statistics. For the analysis of variance, df = 1, 262 and for the t-tests df = 66 in the chills group, and df = 65 in the tears group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. HR = heart rate, RR = respiration rate, RD = respiration depth, SCL = skin conductance response, chill-self = response for self-selected song in the chills group, chill-exp. = response for experimenter-selected song in the chills group, tear-self = response for self-selected song in the tears group, and tear-exp. = response for experimenter-selected song in the tears group.
