Connections of psychological factors to the response times in rating stimulus valence.

Response times for valence estimation were tested with Emotional Concern (EC), Perspective-taking (PT), animal-directed Emotional Concern (aniEC) and animal-directed Perspective-taking (aniPT), Extraversion (Ex) and Neuroticism (Neur). Connections of dog stimuli with dog experience were obtained with dog expertise (Expe) and dog exposure (Expo) measures. Significant regression coefficients (beta values) are marked with asterisks (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
