Key: sAA Change: Change score in salivary alpha-amylase concentration (U/mL) levels from baseline to immediately post-task. Distraction: a single post-task rating of how distracting participants found the emotional sounds to be; Arousal Rating: subjective arousal rating for each emotional sound. Significant results are bolded.
