Table 2.

Mean Scores and Standard Deviations (in brackets) for the three initial bias groups: AB Toward, AB Away and No Bias for pre- and post-ABM assessment periods for scores on the Stress Task for those in the ABM-Active and ABM-control groups. d refers to Cohen’s d values.

	Pre-ABM	Post-ABM	Pre to post change
AB Towards
ABM-Active	71.5 (5.2)	53.5 (14.1)	t(26) = 7.4, p < .001, d = 1.42
ABM-Control	70.2 (4.7)	69.1 (11.3)	t(16) < 1, p < .66, d = 0.11
	t(42) < 1	t(42) = −3.8
	p < .41	p < .001
	d = 0.26	d = −1.22
AB Away
