Note: ANOVA: df = degrees of freedom. In a 2 by 2 ANOVA, the dfs for all effects are the same. MSE = mean square of the error. ges = generalized eta squared. Pairwise comparisons: Comparison (A vs. B) = the two variables compared in each comparison. A-mean, B-mean = means of the left (A) and the right (B) variable in a comparison, with standard deviations in parentheses. diff = difference between A and B. lowerCI, upperCI = lower and upper boundary of 95% confidence intervals of the difference. df, t, p = degrees of freedom, t value and p value from the Welch’s t tests (between-subjects comparisons) or paired-samples t tests (within-subjects comparisons). P values were corrected for multiple comparisons using the Holm-Bonferroni method. lnBF = the natural logarithm of Bayes factors. g = Hedges’s average g.
