Collapsed within Groups:

^*Significant difference between safe and threat (p < .001, 95% CI [−67.2, −38.3]).

^†Significant difference between negative compared to positive pictures (p < .001; 95% CI [9.2, 34.3]), trend difference between negative compared to neutral pictures (Bonferroni corrected, p = .008; 95% CI [4.0, 25.4]).

^‡Significant difference between negative compared to neutral (p < .001; 95% CI [−44.1, −19.3]) and positive pictures (p < .001, 95% CI [−46.5, −23.0]).
