Fig 2.
The results of the eeriness, valence, and realism evaluation in Study 1.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. The vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness (A), valence (B), realism scores (C) for images in each condition. The lower scores indicate more negative and improbable evaluation.
Fig 3.
The results of the eeriness and realism evaluation in Study 2.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. The vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness (A), the realism scores (B) for images in each condition. The lower scores in realism indicate more improbable evaluation.
Fig 4.
The results of the eeriness and realism evaluation in Study 3.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. The vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness (A), the realism scores (B) for images in each condition. The lower scores in realism indicate more improbable evaluation.
Fig 5.
The results of the eeriness and realism evaluation in Study 4a.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. Both of the vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness for images in each condition. The left graph was created from the data of the participants who knew all the people in the images (A). The right graph was created from the data of the participants who did not know any of the people in the images (B).
Fig 6.
The results of the eeriness and realism evaluation in Study 4b.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. The vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness (A), with realism scores (B) for images in each condition. The lower scores in realism indicate more improbable evaluation.
Fig 7.
The results of the eeriness and realism evaluation in Study 5.
Error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean. The vertical axes indicate the mean eeriness (A), with realism scores (B) for images in each condition. The lower scores in realism indicate more improbable evaluation.

The results of the mediation analysis in Study 6.
AR refers to animal-reminder disgust sensitivity. The numerical values around the arrows indicate standardized partial regression coefficients. An indirect effect is significant. *p < .05, *p < .01.
