Emotional reactions to pictures. Valence (left graph) and arousal ratings (right graph) by mutilation (Mut), neutral (Neu), and erotic (Ero) pictures in sexual assault (SA) survivors and matched non-sexual assault (No SA) controls. Both groups showed similar emotional reactions to the pictures on valence (how pleasant or unpleasant the picture was), and on arousal. However, the SA group rated the erotic pictures as slightly more arousing than the non-SA group. Means±SEM.
