Fig. 4 — Negative 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 < 0.001), main effect of time (p < 0.001), and significant news group by time interaction (p < 0.001) for which we ran a post hoc pairwise comparison of means, correcting for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni. There were differences between groups before the news (p = 0.0474), after news (p < 0.001) and after relaxation pause (p = 0.026). There were significant differences from before to after news (p = 0.024; p < 0.001 respectively), and before to after pause (p < 0.001) and after news and after pause (p < 0.001).
