Differences between control and artwork conditions in mean change scores of the AVI component scores from post-stressor to post-viewing period, controlling for post-stressor scores (positive change scores indicate an increase in the parameter, while negative change scores indicate a decrease).

adj M, adjusted mean change score (post-viewing period − post-stressor), controlling for post-stressor scores; SD, standard deviation.
