(F(1.79,5.37) = 7.12, MSe = 232535.77, p < .001, partial eta 2 = .10). The<br />

interaction between emotion, scene component and experiment was not<br />

significant [F(6,136) = 0.95, MSe = 27609.21, p = .47, partial eta 2 = .04]. Post-<br />

hoc Tukey’s HSD pair-wise comparisons were conducted to further investigate<br />

the significant interactions between scene component and experiment and<br />

between emotion and scene component. Total gaze duration on the object was<br />

significantly lower in Experiment 9 than in Experiments 7, 8 and 10 (q = 22.56,<br />

25.31, 22.38, p < .001 all cases, respectively). Correspondingly, total gaze<br />

duration on the background was significantly longer in Experiment 9 than in<br />

Experiment 7, 8 and 10 (q = 21.08, 22.48, 24.64, p < .001 all cases,<br />

respectively). Total gaze duration was significantly longer on the object than<br />

background in Experiments 7, 8 and 10 (q = 22.00, 24.35, 23.91, p < .001 all<br />

cases, respectively). There was a significantly longer total gaze duration on the<br />

negative object in a scene than a neutral or positive object (q = 20.62, 20.42, p<br />

< .001 all cases, respectively), and a correspondingly significantly lower total<br />

gaze duration on the background in scenes with a negative object than a neutral<br />

or positive object (q = 18.46, 19.37, p < .001 all cases, respectively). There was<br />

significantly longer total gaze duration on the object than background in scenes<br />

with a negative, neutral or positive object (q = 21.97, 18.27, 18.20<br />

respectively).<br />

Planned contrasts revealed no significant difference in the total gaze<br />

duration on the object in a scene between emotional and neutral objects [F(1,71)<br />

= 3.34, p = .07] but there was significantly longer total gaze duration on<br />

negative than positive objects (F(1,71) = 12.08, p < .001). Planned contrasts<br />

revealed significantly lower total gaze durations on backgrounds with an<br />
