Preliminary analysis of the 39 participants' emotion measures. The six-item questionnaire showed "relatively positive emotions towards TCs", while think-aloud emotions during reading were "mostly negative" for both texts; anger was reported at 17% (other-side) and 15% (own-side), sadness at 17% and 24%.

"With a mean score of 2.71 ( SD = .86) in the likert-point scale with a 5-point range, they showed that they hold relatively positive emotions towards TCs, such as respect and trust. In contrast, the emotions reported during reading using the think-aloud method were mostly negative (e.g., sad and angry; see Table 4) for both the other-side text and the own-side text."
