and scene component and the between-participants factor of experiment<br />

revealed a significant main effect of experiment (F(3,68) = 9.10, MSe =<br />

40244.92, p < .001, partial eta 2 = .28). The main effect of emotion was not<br />

significant [F(2,136) = 1.04, MSe = 516.75, p = .36, partial eta 2 = .02], nor was<br />

the main effect of scene component [F(1,68) = 1.92, MSe = 1151.24, p = .17,<br />

partial eta 2 = .03]. The interaction between scene component and experiment<br />

was significant (F(3,68) = 3.74, MSe = 2246.21, p < .05, partial eta 2 = .14). The<br />

interaction between emotion and experiment was not significant [F(6,136) = 1.61,<br />

MSe = 799.07, p = .15, partial eta 2 = .07], nor was the interaction between<br />

emotion and scene component [F(2,136) = 1.05, MSe = 587.08, p = .35, partial<br />

eta 2 = .01] and nor was the interaction between emotion, scene component and<br />

experiment (F(6,136) = 1.58, MSe = 886.03, p = .16, partial eta 2 = .07]. The<br />

significant main effect of experiment and significant interaction between scene<br />

component and experiment were further explored using Tukey’s HSD, only<br />

significant differences are reported. This revealed that average fixation<br />

durations were significantly less in Experiment 10 than in Experiments 7, 8 and<br />

9 (q = 6.64, p < .001; q = 4.15, p < .05; q = 6.05, p < .001 respectively). The<br />

average fixation durations were significantly longer on the object and on the<br />

background for both Experiments 7 and 9 than Experiment 10 (Object: q =<br />

4.21, p < .05; q = 4.37, p < .05, Background: q = 5.18, p < .01; q = 4.18, p <<br />

.05 respectively). There was significantly longer average fixation durations on<br />

the background than object in Experiments 7 and 8 (q = 3.64, p < .05; q = 3.00,<br />

p < .05 respectively).<br />
