Pilot study ratings.

Note. Each cell provides the mean score, with the standard deviation (SD) in the parenthesis. “Grasslands” was the reference scenario for selecting a best-matched modern survival scenario. ”Mountain” was the reference scenario for selecting a best-matched negative and positive non-survival scenario. †p < .10, *p < .05, **p <.01, with all significant effects dictating the simple planned contrast between each scenario with its corresponding reference scenario. For example, the effects shown in the “valence ratings” column suggest that “city” marginally differs from “grasslands” (p < .10), whereas “moving”, “vacation”, and “lottery” differ from “mountain” (ps < .001) in valence ratings. aancestral survival scenario, bmodern survival scenario, cnegative non-survival scenario, and dpositive non-survival scenario.
