From: Americans weigh an attended emotion more than Koreans in overall mood judgments

Figure 2

Results of Experiment 1. The thick solid (Korean) and dashed (American) lines indicate the predicted probability of a positive response using the regression model. Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence interval and dotted lines indicate individual participants. AC, attention cue on angry faces; HC, attention cue on happy faces; NC, no attention cue (baseline). (A) Overall response patterns of the two cultural groups. The lines for the three attention cue conditions overlap less for Americans, implying stronger attentional cueing effects than for Koreans. (B) A more direct comparison of cueing effects between the two cultural groups for each cue condition. In the NC condition, the two cultural groups showed comparable performance. In the AC condition, Americans judged the average emotion as less positive when the actual positive valence ratio was higher (right). In the HC condition, Americans judged the average emotion to be more positive when the positive valence ratio was lower (left).
