#### 3.2.2 Self-Reported Perception Variations  
Considering the subjective perception data, ANOVA conducted on PLEASANTNESS showed a statistically significant difference for the CANTICA variable (F (2,110) = 4.200, \(p\) = 0.017, \(\eta_{p}^{2}\) = 0.070), from post hoc analysis it emerged that Inferno was considered more pleasant than Purgatorio (\(p\) = 0.001) (Figure 10).

Vertical bars denote a 0.95 confidence interval.  
The ANOVA test concerning POSITIVITY showed a statistically significant interaction among MOF and EXPERTISE (F (1,55) = 4.5897, \(p\) = 0.036, \(\eta_{p}^{2}\) = 0.077). [PERSON]'s post hoc revealed that LSs judge more positively valenced the reading than listening MOF both within (\(p\) = 0.023) and between (\(p\) = 0.042; \(p\) = 0.017) SS/LS groups (Figure 11).  
Finally, CANTICA \(\times\) MOF \(\times\) group ANOVA for INTENSITY revealed a statistically significant difference for CANTICA (F (2,110) = 4.539, \(p\) = 0.012, \(\eta_{p}^{2}\) = 0.076); the [PERSON] post hoc showed that Paradiso was judged to be less intense than Purgatorio (\(p\) = 0.007) and Inferno (\(p\) = 0.007) (Figure 12).  
Listening was overall the MOF that conveyed greater arousal intensity to all participants (F (1,55) = 4.874, \(p\) = 0.031, \(\eta_{p}^{2}\) = 0.081) (Figure 13).

Moreover, the post hoc conducted on ANOVA's significant interaction between MOF \(\times\) CANTICA (F (2.110) = 4.5011, \(p\) = 0.132, \(\eta_{p}^{2}\) = 0.075) showed that listening to Inferno condition, has been perceived to be more intensively arousing than all other conditions (all \(p\) < 0.001) except for listening to Purgatorio (\(p\) = 0.353).
