A psychologist was interested in gauging the success of a mood manipulation during one of her experiments. She had three groups of participants who underwent different types of mood induction: disgust mood induction, negative mood induction and positive mood induction. After the mood induction, participants were asked to endorse nine statements relating to their mood (on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 = disagree to 5 = agree). Which statement best sums up this part of the output?
A. There were significant differences between the mood induction conditions on two items: ‘I would never eat catfood’, and ‘Bodily fluids are nasty’.
B. There were significant differences between the mood induction conditions on all items.
C. There were significant differences between the mood induction conditions on four items: ‘I would never eat catfood’, ‘I could never touch a dead body’, ‘I feel fed up’ and ‘Bodily fluids are nasty’.
