Replications
- I react to bodies but not faces, a replication and extension of Aviezer et al. (2012), Pillaud et al. (2026). Emotion. Outcome recorded: mixed.
A series of five experiments replicated the results obtained by Aviezer et al. (2012; Experiment 1) and extended them to other tasks...The results partially confirm this objective. We observed the effect on the valence dimension reported by Aviezer et al.: Images representing only bodies or bodies with faces produced stronger valence effects than images representing only faces. However, unlike Aviezer et al., we observed a valence effect in the face condition. In contrast…

Based on a paired-samplet-test,the difference between the average valence rat-ings for winning and losing bodies is statisti-cally significant withp= 0.0001338(t(13) =5.3420). The original result is thus replicated
