2.56, p < .001, partial eta 2 = .71) with greater specific recognition for the<br />

objects than backgrounds. There was no significant main effect of emotion<br />

[F(2,34) = 1.18, MSe = 0.05, p = .32, partial eta 2 = .07]. There was a significant<br />

interaction between emotion and scene component (F(2,34) = 4.89, MSe = 0.14,<br />

p < .05, partial eta 2 = .22). Planned contrasts revealed significantly greater<br />

specific recognition for emotional than neutral objects (F(1,17) = 7.44, p < .05)<br />

but no significant difference between negative and positive objects [F(1,17) =<br />

2.91, p = .11]. Planned contrasts revealed no significant difference between<br />

specific recognition of backgrounds which were initially presented with<br />

emotional or neutral objects [F(1,17) = .04, p = .84] nor negative or positive<br />

objects [F(1,17) = 1.87, p = .19]. (See Figure 5.3).<br />

For general recognition there was a significant main effect of scene<br />

component (F(1,17) = 28.70, MSe = 1.72, p < .001, partial eta 2 = .63) with<br />

greater general recognition for the objects than backgrounds. There was no<br />

significant main effect of emotion [F(2,34) = 0.56, MSe = 0.02, p = .58, partial<br />

eta 2 = .03]. There was a significant interaction between emotion and scene<br />

component (F(2,34) = 4.26, MSe = 0.08, p < .05, partial eta 2 = .20). Planned<br />

contrasts revealed significantly greater general recognition for emotional than<br />

neutral objects (F(1,17) = 7.17, p < .05) but no significant difference between<br />

negative and positive objects [F(1,17) = 0.11, p = .75]. Planned contrasts<br />

revealed no significant difference between general recognition for backgrounds<br />

which were initially presented with emotional or neutral objects [F(1,17) = 2.25,<br />

p = .15] nor negative or positive objects [F(1,17) = .84, p = .37].<br />
