The number of fixations made were also analysed by examining the<br />

number of fixations made on the object as a proportion of the total number of<br />

fixations on the scene (fixations on the object/fixations on the object +<br />

fixations on the background). There was an average proportion (S.E.) of .81<br />

(.02) on scenes with a negative object, .74 (.02) on scenes with a neutral object<br />

and .76 (.02) on scenes with a positive object. A repeated measures ANOVA<br />

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

(F(2,34) = 6.57, MSe = 0.02, p < .01, partial eta 2 = .28). Planned contrasts<br />

revealed this proportion was significantly greater for scenes with an emotional<br />

than neutral object (F(1,17) = 8.86, p < .01) and significantly greater for scenes<br />

with a negative than positive object (F(1,17) = 5.01, p < .05).<br />
