People are especially accurate when they make their judgments basedon their immediate gut reaction about what the emotion is, so you shouldtry to go with your gut reactions to the people in the photos.” (p. 67)Then, participants performed the experimental task. The task was presented using E-prime (Eprime version 3; Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh, PA). Each trial started with a centrally presented target stimulusshown for 1 s. Then, participants indicated how sexually aroused, fearful,happy, or angry they perceived the person depicted on a 9-point scale using the corresponding keyboard key. Participants performed 8 (Experiment1) or 16 trials (Experiment 2) in total. After completing the task, participants filled in the revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R; Penke& Asendorpf, 2008) and the Belief in a Dangerous World (BDW; Altemeyer,1988) questionnaires to measure one’s propensity to a) engage in casual relationships and b) perceive their surroundings as safe and secure, respectively.Finally, participants were debriefed about the aim of the study. The studylasted approximately 15 minutes.Statistical AnalysesSexual arousal (Experiment 1) and anger (Experiment 2) target face ratings were analyzed using Bayesian multilevel modeling (MLM). We optedfor Bayesian MLMs so we could both account for the nested data and quanIliana Samara 17x24.indd 81 08-04-2024 16:35
