Table 3.6. Mean average proportion (SE) of Same, Similar, New items given<br />

Same/Similar/New responses for Negative and Neutral items<br />

Confidence Ratings<br />

The influence of emotion on the confidence ratings (low, high) and<br />

response type given to same, similar and new items was analysed by<br />

conducting a 2 (confidence) x 3 (response type) x 2 (emotion) repeated<br />

measures ANOVA (for brevity the ANOVA results are reported in Tables 3.7,<br />

3.8 and 3.9). The emotional content of similar and new items did not affect the<br />

distribution of confidence ratings as reflected by the lack of a significant three-<br />

way interaction between confidence, response type and emotion. However, this<br />

interaction was significant with same items, although the associated effect size<br />

for this interaction was very small. The influence of confidence was checked<br />

further by analyzing the pattern of results when only high confidence responses<br />

were included in the analysis. For all types of items the same main effects and<br />
