Note: Est. = unstandardized parameter estimate; 95% CI = 95% confidence intervals of parameter estimates; CR = critical ratio. Boldface type indicates values that are statistically significant (> |1.96|). Scores on the emotion-recognition measure range from 0 to 15; lower scores reflect a greater tendency to perceive anger over happiness in the ambiguous expressions (i.e., an anger bias). PET = positive emotion training.
