Figure 5.6. Average gaze duration on object and background scene components
of scenes with a negative, neutral or positive object
The average fixation duration was analysed by conducting a 2 (scene
component) x 3 (emotion) repeated measures ANOVA with the factors
emotion and scene component. There was no significant main effect for
emotion [F(2,34) = 0.31, MSe = 77.90, p = .74, partial eta 2 = .02] nor for scene
component [F(1,17) = 1.35, MSe = 258.27, p = .26, partial eta 2 = .07]. There
was also no significant interaction between emotion and scene component
[F(2,34) = 0.41, MSe = 120.25, p = .67, partial eta 2 = .02]. Planned contrasts for
the average fixation duration revealed no difference for emotional or neutral
objects [F(1,17) = 0.03, p = .86], nor between negative or positive objects [F(1,17)
< 0.01, p = .95]. Planned contrasts revealed no significant difference between
scenes with an emotional or neural object [F(1,17) = 0.82, p = .38], nor between
scenes with a negative or positive object [F(1,17) = 0.18, p = .67].
