Distributions of percentages of “angry” responses and RTs.

<p>The 4 panels depict the average percentages of “angry” responses (a, b panels) and RTs (c, d panels) [± SEM] as a function of per cent anger, after the comfortable/uncomfortable (red/blue symbols, respectively) reaching blocks and in the absence of action (green symbols). Red and blue curves in a, b panels are the best average cumulative Gaussian fits of response percentages, with shaded bands indicating ± standard error of regression. Green curves represent the average distributions, ± SEM, obtained in Experiment 3. The pink line represents the average PSN, ± SEM, obtained in Experiment 4. Data in the left panels (a, c) refer to Experiment 1 (comfortable-uncomfortable order); data in the right panels (b, d) refer to Experiment 2 (opposite order).
