Table 1 Sample size (N), Mean, Standard Error of the Mean (SEM), and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) of Experience, Expressivity, and Physiological Arousal to Negative and Positive Images seen in the Unregulated condition

From: The simultaneous use of Emotional suppression and Situation selection to regulate emotions incrementally favors physiological responses

  1. Note. The experience scale ranges from 0 (no emotion) to + 100 (extreme negative/positive experience). Expressivity is expressed as percentages of trial baseline level. All other parameters are expressed as differences with trial baseline level to reflect parameter change after image presentation
