Figure 1. Mean positive emotional experience across trials in each diagnostic group.

Figure 1.

*= p<.05, **=p<.001. Separate ANCOVAs (controlling for age and sex) were run for each trial to decompose the significant diagnosis by trial interaction that was detected in our primary analysis on total positive emotional experience. Tukey-adjusted pairwise comparisons were conducted to correct for multiple comparisons. Error bars represent the standard error. These analyses revealed that people with svPPA reported significantly higher levels of total positive emotional experience during the awe (p<.001), love (p<.05), and neutral (p<.05) trials than the bvFTD and healthy control groups. People with svPPA also reported significantly higher levels of positive emotional experience during the fear trial than healthy controls (p<.05).
