Change in subjective emotional arousal ratings depending on block and valence. Black horizontal lines within the box indicate the median, upper and lower box limits the upper and lower quartile, bold dots outside the whisker indicate outliers, i.e. 1.5 interquartile ranges from the box. Ratings of every participant are shown as a scatterplot along the whisker. Significant differences as computed with the Tukey’s Test are indicated by * (p < 0.001). Y-axis ticks were relabeled (“− 200” as “0”, “200” as “400”) for contentual logic.
