$ρ (v, I_{2} \| I)$	−0.034^∘	−0.100^***	−0.058^*
$ρ (v, I_{3} \| I)$	−0.101^**	−0.070^***	−0.149^***
$ρ (v, I_{4} \| I)$	−0.134^***	−0.020^*	−0.084^**

Correlation coefficients of the valence (v) and information content measured on different context sizes ( $I_{2}$ , $I_{3}$ , $I_{4}$ ) controlling for self-information (I). Significance levels: ^∘p<0.3, ^*p<0.1, ^**p<0.01, ^***p<0.001.
