Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Negative affect increased substantially from before the exhibition to after visiting the showrooms, with a large main effect of showroom (ηp² = 0.48), consistent with the abstract's report of heightened negative affect due to the haptic experience. → Magdalena Novak & Stephan Schwan 2021

q3 · i3 · causal · r?

Three-way mixed ANOVA (vision × haptics × showroom) on PANAS negative affect showed "a significant main effect for factor showroom" with ηp² = 0.48; negative affect rose from before the exhibition (e.g., M = 1.21–1.43) to after showroom 1 (M = 1.81–2.23). No significant main effects of vision or haptics were found.
