In contrast, the present study has examined whether differences in the emotions that people consistently elicit in others known as affective presence is an alternative and influential emotion-related individual difference.
A limitation of this approach is that a range of other interpersonal or group processes not controlled for during this month could also have explained differences in the emotions reported by participants.

This is particularly true because many qualitatively different emotions trigger quantitatively similar, overlapping patterns of activation (Jabbi et al., 2007), and quantitatively similar activations in the two groups within the vicarious activation region of interest could thus coexist with qualitative differences in the actual emotions triggered.
An explanation based on the large difference in perceived emotion of the two agents depicting anger (see Figure 2) can be excluded by the absence of significant correlation between orbitofrontal activity and emotional ratings for either agent.
