Note. See Figure 2 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. 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.
