Pearson’s product-moment correlations between bias scores in the masked affective priming task and amygdala response (left and right) to corresponding facial emotions (n = 28)^*

Emotion	Zero-order correlations		Partial correlations (controlling for STAI)		Partial correlations (controlling for detection task performance)

	Left	Right	Left	Right	Left	Right
Angry	−0.41^†	−0.45^†	−0.41^†	−0.44^†	−0.44^†	−0.44^†
Sad	−0.43^†	−0.52^‡	−0.43^†	−0.52^‡	−0.40^†	−0.47^†
Happy	−0.06	0.05	−0.06	0.05	−0.10	0.04
Negative sum score	−0.50^‡	−0.59^§	−0.50^‡	−0.59^§	−0.50^‡	−0.57^‡

STAI = State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
↵* Amygdala activity is calculated in relation to the neutral face condition.
Negative values of bias scores indicate negative judgmental bias; positive values of bias scores indicate positive judgmental bias.
↵† p < 0.05.
↵‡ p < 0.01.
↵§ p < 0.001 (2-tailed).
