Note. Means and SDs are in ms and are facilitation scores formed by subtracting RTs following partner/self primes from RTs following the neutral prime; thus, higher scores indicate greater facilitation by the partner/self primes to positive and negative words. Facilitation score difference formed by subtracting the negative facilitation score from the positive facilitation score; thus higher scores indicate greater facilitation to positive words. Alphas are internal consistencies among RTs following primes. Split halves are associations between facilitation scores from block 1 and block 2, estimated in a multilevel model with a fixed intercept (GEE).
