Mean (standard deviation). BAP, broad autism phenotype group; Control, control group; Con, congruent; and Incon, incongruent. Congruent is a condition in which emotions of target and context are the same. Incongruent is a condition in which emotions of target and context are not the same. Bold value indicates that the value is statistically significant.
