Figure 1. Distribution of AAP values for words in the text that was used in the experiment. Examples of words with different AAP values are included. Words with lower AAP values (e.g. nauseous, contempt) tend to elicit more negative emotions, words with more positive AAP values (e.g. backyard, party, beautiful) elicit more positive emotions, and words with AAP values close to zero (e.g. both) are considered neutral.

Figure 2. (A) Prediction plot for the main effect of AAP values on gaze durations. AAP values did not significantly predict gaze durations. (B) Prediction plot for the main effect of squared AAP values on gaze durations. Higher squared AAP values (i.e. more emotional words) were significantly associated with longer gaze durations. (C) Prediction plot for the significant interaction between NFA scores and AAP values on gaze durations. (D) Prediction plot for the significant interaction between SWAS scores and AAP values on gaze durations.
