Fig. 3 — Positive scores of the Emotional State Scale before the experiment (Pre), after positive or negative news (Post news) and after the relaxation pause (Post pause). There was a significant main effect of news group (p = 0.022), main effect of time (p < 0.001), and significant news group by time interaction (p < 0.001) for which we ran post hoc pairwise comparisons of means, using Bonferroni's correction. Only after news a significant difference in positive scores between news groups (p < 0.001). Negative news group presented differences from before to after news (p < 0.001) but not the positive news group (p = 0.066). In after news to after relaxation pause, and before news and after relaxation pause, the negative news group presented a difference (p = 0.001), however the positive news group did not present it. There were no significant differences before news and after relaxation pause for the positive news group, only for the negative news group (p < 0.001).
