The analysis revealed highly significant main effects of both Eccentricity— F (4, 52) = 136.56, p < .001, partial η p 2 = 0.91 , and Emotion— F (5, 65) = 44.1, p < .001, partial η p 2 = 0.77 , but there was no main effect of Task— F (1, 13) = .74, p = .404, partial η p 2 = 0.05 .
Finally, at 30 degrees to the right, surprised faces were recognized significantly better than disgusted faces ( t (13) = 4.53, p = .0006; d = 1.21; Mean Surprised = 0.61, Mean Disgusted = -.03) while a strong trend was present for happy faces to be better recognized than disgusted faces which did not survive correction ( t (13) = 3.64, p = .003; d = .97; Mean Happy = 0.71, Mean Disgusted = -.03).
