eveal a significantly longer total gaze duration on a negative than positive<br />

object in a scene (F(1,17) = 14.44, p < .01). Planned contrasts also revealed no<br />

significant difference between total gaze duration on the background of scenes<br />

with an emotional or neutral object [F(1,17) = 0.50, p = .49] but did reveal<br />

significantly lower total gaze duration on the background for scenes with a<br />

negative than positive object (F(1,17) = 17.68, p < .01). (See Figure 4.6).<br />

Total gaze duration was further examined by analysing the total gaze<br />

duration on the object as a proportion of the total gaze duration on the scene<br />

(total gaze duration on the object/total gaze duration on the object + total gaze<br />

duration on the background). The mean average proportions (with standard<br />

error in parentheses) for scenes with a negative, neutral or positive object were<br />

.77 (.01), .74 (.01) and .72 (.02) respectively. A repeated measures ANOVA on<br />

this proportion with the factor emotion revealed a significant main effect<br />
