This was confirmed by an ANOVA analysis which showed a main effect of valence ( df = 1, F = 18.05, p < 0.001), no effect of semantic category ( df = 1, F = 2.94, p > 0.1), and contrary to the other emotional parameters, a highly significant interaction between semantic valence and semantic category ( df = 1, F = 35.6, p < 0.001).
