Ratings of valence and arousal of the visual stimuli

Valence (mean ± SD) Arousal (mean ± SD)
Unpleasant Neutral Pleasant Unpleasant Neutral Pleasant
All genotypes 1.78 ± 0.79 6.02 ± 1.08 7.67 ± 0.76 5.35 ± 2.48 2.31 ± 1.52 4.65 ± 1.43
met/met 1.61 ± 0.68 6.20 ± 0.79 7.54 ± 0.59 6.50 ± 2.47 2.22 ± 1.45 4.31 ± 1.31
val/met 1.80 ± 0.93 6.01 ± 1.26 7.68 ± 0.90 4.46 ± 2.47 2.02 ± 1.43 4.51 ± 1.45
val/val 1.98 ± 0.62 5.80 ± 1.09 7.83 ± 0.64 6.03 ± 1.98 3.18 ± 1.84 5.50 ± 1.50
  • The valence scale is from 1 (unpleasant) to 9 (pleasant); the arousal scale is from 1 (not arousing) to 9 (very arousing).
