Table 2
Means and standard deviations for the frequency of guessing a disease-related meaning of the Chinese ideograph as a function of disgust (physical disgust vs. moral disgust vs. non-disgusting condition) and the preceding prime category (target related, non-target related).
| Mean frequency of guessing a disease-related meaning | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target related | Non-target related | |||
| M | SD | M | SD | |
| Physical disgust | 27.07b | 6.92 | 22.97a | 6.29 |
| Moral disgust | 23.04a | 7.27 | 21.48a | 7.12 |
| Non-disgusting | 23.03a | 5.49 | 23.32a | 6.26 |
[i] Note: The different letters, in the same row or column, indicate that the difference between the two means is significant, p ≤ .05.
