Figure 1
Results of Experiments 1 and 2. Left: Average recognition accuracy for positive, neutral, and negative mental states across the three conditions. (Note that the guess rate in a four-alternative forced choice paradigm is 25%.) Middle: Average perceived valence scores showing a significant decrease in valence between the unmasked and the two covering conditions for positive mental states (but not for the neutral and negative ones). Right: Average perceived arousal scores showing a significant decrease in perceived arousal for the positive expressions and a significant increase for neutral and negative ones. Error bars represent standard deviation of the mean.
