Hiding Uncertain Me in the Crowd: Avoidance-Oriented Affiliation Defense to Self-Uncertainty.

A simple effects analysis suggests that the participants who were induced self-uncertainty were more likely to judge a pictograph as unpleasant when the pictograph was preceded by isolation prime words (words representing Isolation) ( M = 3.69, SD = 0.61) than when it was preceded by affiliation prime words ( M = 3.99, SD = 0.74), and this difference was highly significant ( F (1, 48) = 16.24, p < 0.001, ŋ 2 = 0.253).
