Tactile Modulation of Emotional Speech Samples

Table 5

Pairwise comparisons between the concurrent tactile stimulation categories within each of the speech samples used. In the table the tactile stimulation derived from positive speech sample is referred as pos and the tactile stimulation derived from negative speech sample as neg.
