*Significant at p = .05, 2-sided. n = 14 in each group. Between-group Cohen's d scores were computed from the means and pooled standard deviations (Cohen, 1988) of the differences between Post vs. Pre-training. Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were taken from independent samples t-test for differences between Post vs. Pre-training. CI = confidence interval, m = mean, sd = standard deviation, se = standard error, diff = difference of means, d = Cohen's d. For a graphical depiction of the values reported in this table, please see Supplementary Fig. 5. The ACTIVE group had a significantly lower ATL-SCC regression effect for guilt vs. indignation prior to training compared with the CONTROL group (diff = 0.35, se = 0.15, p = .03, 95% CI:0.045 to 0.66), and there was a weak trend towards higher regression effects for indignation in the ACTIVE vs. CONTROL group prior to training (diff = −0.34, se = 0.21, p = .13, 95% CI:−0.77 to 0.10) with no group differences in ATL-SCC regression effects for guilt (diff = 0.01, se = 0.23, p = .95, 95% CI: −0.45 to 0.48).
