Unlike the version above with unequal number of states for positive vs. negative affect, there was no longer a Culture x Valence interaction. However, there was still a main effect of culture (European American > Taiwanese) and a main effect of valence (negative > positive).

## P value adjustment: tukey method for comparing a family of 4 estimates

There was a main effect of culture (European American > Taiwanese) and a main effect of quadrant (HAN & LAN > HAP & LAP) but they were qualified by an interaction between Culture x Quadrant: Between cultures, European Americans had a greater profile correlation than Taiwanese for HAP and LAP states (i.e., positive states), while there was no cultural difference in the profile correlation of HAN and LAN (i.e., negative states). Further, within cultures, European Americans had a greater profile correlation for HAN and LAN states (no diff between the two) than HAP and LAP states (no diff between the two), whereas Taiwanese had a greater profile correlation for HAN & LAN (no difference between the two) than HAP, which in turn had a greater profile correlation than LAP.
