Eliminating the impact of mood on judgments of fairness and re-affirming equity theoryCullen, Theresa 03 June 1998 (has links)
Equity theory has long been used to predict individuals' responses to equity and inequity. Tests of these predictions have been inconsistent, particularly for inequitable conditions of low inputs and high outcomes, or overreward. Based on empirical evidence pointing to the powerful effects of moods on cognitive tasks, this study incorporates mood into equity theory's propositions, with the expectation that considering mood will enhance equity theory's predictive power. Specifically, as Wyer and Carlston's (1979) "feelings-as-information" hypothesis suggests, subjects who receive favorable outcomes may use their positive outcome-based mood in judging the fairness of the situation. Cognitive research suggests that positive mood reduces the accuracy of judgments, which would explain the inconsistencies in equity perceptions. However, Schwarz and Clore (1983) discovered that the effect of mood on judgments may be eliminated if the mood can be attributed to a logical external source. Two studies were conducted using similar procedures with different overrewards and external sources. In both studies, overrewarded subjects rated the fairness of being overrewarded and the fairness of the procedures used to allocate the reward. These ratings were analyzed to assess the effects that subjects' inputs, outcomes, and procedures had on their perceptions of fairness. Two groups were given the opportunity to attribute their moods to a source other than the reward. It was hypothesized that mood effects on fairness judgments would be eliminated when subjects were able to attribute their mood to its correct source (i.e., undeserved reward) or to an incorrect but logical source (i.e., music or cheerful surroundings). Specifically, the elimination of the effect of positive mood should serve to increase accuracy in judgments of fairness. The hypothesis that subjects who were treated with fair procedures would view their outcome as more distributively fair was supported in both studies. In Study 1, the hypotheses regarding changes in judgment accuracy as a function of external attribution of positive mood were not supported. The results of Study 2, which used a different overreward and transient source, revealed that external attribution of positive mood had a significant effect on subjects' fairness ratings. / Master of Science

Mood and risk-taking judgment: The role of mood regulationKim, Min Young 10 April 2008 (has links)
During the past decade, there has been increased attention on the role of mood on risk-taking and judgment. According to Isen¡¯s (1987) mood-maintenance hypothesis, individuals in a negative mood state tend to take greater risks than individuals in a neutral or positive mood state in order to improve their mood. In contrast, however, theorizing and research derived from an information-processing perspective indicates that individuals in a negative mood are more likely to engage in deliberate cognitive processes directed toward avoiding risk. This study seeks to resolve the discrepancy between these two perspectives by examining the influence of systematic cognitive processing as a mood regulation strategy (Forgas, 1998). Negative mood states were induced using a standardized film clip procedure. Participants then completed a risk-taking questionnaire either immediately following the induction, after performing a moderately difficult word anagram task, or after a delay period. As expected, participants in the anagram task condition showed lower levels of risk-taking preference than participants in the immediate judgment and delayed task conditions. Implications and future research directions for research in risk-taking and mood regulation are discussed.

Information structure and mood selection in Spanish complement clausesLascurain, Paxti 02 February 2011 (has links)
The general goal of this dissertation is to highlight the role of discourse pragmatics in the explanation of the use of the indicative and subjunctive moods in Spanish sentential complements. This dissertation examines mood selection in Spanish complements in order to illustrate the shortcomings of the traditional semantic/syntactic approach (Terrell & Hooper (1974), Hooper (1975), P. Klein (1974), Fukushima (1978-79), Bell (1980), and Takagaki (1984)) and to provide within the Information Structure framework (Lambrecht 1994; 2001) a detailed analysis of mood selection in Spanish complement clauses. Considering some existing pragmatic approaches to Spanish mood selection (e.g., Lavandera 1983, Guitart 1991, Mejías-Bikandi 1994, 1998), they are found to be inadequate because they are based on decontextualized sentences. This dissertation considers the context where sentences take place and contributes to our understanding of mood selection in Spanish complements as a formal reflection of the pragmatic properties and relations of the discourse referents that are denoted by noun complements, considering pragmatic notions of presupposition and assertion of propositional referents, their activation, and the pragmatic relations of topic/focus of these referents in the utterances. The notion of pragmatic assertion used in this dissertation is based on the notion of speaker intent, and it is equated with the notion of inactive discourse referents, which are in turn linked to the use of indicative mood in complements of assertive matrices. The notion of pragmatic presupposition is equated with the notion of active referents in the discourse, which are in turn linked to the use of subjunctive mood in complements of doubt/negation and comment matrices. However, this thesis argues that not all uses of subjunctive are motivated by the active status of propositional referents. Volitional and possibility uses of subjunctive are analyzed, similarly to assertive matrices, as activating a discourse referent. Yet, contrary to assertive matrices, and following Fauconnier’s (1985) theory of mental spaces, the referent activated belongs to the domain that represents an individual’s view of reality. This account of mood distribution in complement clauses is eventually extended to adjectival and adverbial subordinates and provides an explanation of mood distribution in all subordinate contexts in Spanish. / text

Effects of mood on risky decision makingKwok, Fong-pui, 郭舫貝 January 2014 (has links)
There is increasing evidence supporting the Affect Infusion Model (AIM), which accounts for the role of affect processing in social judgments. Based on the AIM, the study examined the role of mood states in making risky decisions. Forty female Chinese adults from Hong Kong were recruited for this study. A mood induction procedure was applied before they engaged in the experimental task. On random assignment, each subject was induced either a positive (Happy group), or negative mood (Sad group). Results revealed successful mood induction and no significant interaction effects between the groups across pre-and post-tests. The findings did not support the hypothesis based on the AIM, nor the hypotheses advocating for the opposite of the AIM – Mood Maintenance Hypothesis (MMH) and Mood Repair Hypothesis (MRH). It suggested further studies to examine the possible curvilinear relationship between mood and risky decision making, which will highlight the influence of mood on our decision making when risk taking is involved. / published_or_final_version / Clinical Psychology / Master / Master of Social Sciences

Mood effects on implicit and explicit memory.Tobias, Betsy Ann. January 1992 (has links)
Three major effects of mood on memory have been identified including mood-dependent memory (MDM), mood congruent memory (MCM) and resource allocation (RA) effects. The results of studies examining these effects have been inconsistent. The majority of these studies have employed explicit memory tests; however, explicit tests provide the opportunity for subjects to self-generate cues for retrieval that might overpower mood as a cue. It was hypothesized that use of an implicit memory test would highlight mood by reducing the opportunity for subjects to generate relatively stronger cues for retrieval, resulting in intensified MDM and MCM effects, provided that the implicit memory test was conceptually-driven and, therefore, could be impacted by mood, and the nominal cues provided at test were reduced to a minimum. An implicit analogue of free recall was developed which met these conditions. It was also hypothesized that MDM would be most likely to be found if stimulus items were related to mood semantically as well as temporally. Subjects studied positive, neutral and negative words following either a happy (H) or sad (S) uninstructed musical mood induction. Half of the stimulus items were encoded elaboratively and half shallowly. Prior to test, subjects received either a happy or sad musical mood induction. Subjects were placed into one of four mood groups based on subjective reports of mood prior to encoding and retrieval (HH, HS, SH, SS). Each subject received an implicit memory test (free recall analogue) followed by an explicit memory test (free recall) for the studied words. No MDM effects were observed; however, when only items that were semantically related to encoding mood (mood congruent) were examined, there was a strong trend towards mood congruency in the implicit but not explicit condition. Mood congruent retrieval was found in the implicit but not explicit condition. No mood congruent encoding or resource allocation effects were observed. It was concluded that mood had a greater opportunity to affect retrieval from episodes when implicit memory tests were employed. Some caveats to this conclusion are discussed as well as potential methodological pitfalls in conducting this type of research.

Diurnal Rhythms in Co-Sleeping Couples: Does Being "In Sync" Matter?Hasler, Brant P. January 2009 (has links)
Subjective feeling, or mood, is not just a product of situational and dispositional factors, but is also based in part on underlying circadian rhythms. Notably, accumulating evidence suggests that circadian patterning is limited to positive affect, possibly as an adaptive manifestation of an appetitive motivational system. Furthermore, dispositional factors may influence the observed patterning, such as blunting the rhythm in positive affect when depression is present. The present study sought to examine further these phenomenon at an individual-level, as well as to explore circadian and affective interactions at a couple-level for perhaps the first time by monitoring mood, interpersonal interactions, sleep, activity, and light in 31 bed-sharing cohabitating couples over the course of 7 days. Participants' depression, well-being, relationship satisfaction, and morningness-eveningness were also assessed. Systematic daily patterning was found in all three measures of affect, and was moderated by depression, well-being, and morningness-eveningness. Within-couple affective synchrony (covariation) was positively associated with relationship satisfaction, within-couple morningness-eveningness similarity, and synchrony of sleep timing. Finally, day-to-day within-couple sleep timing synchrony predicted the tenor of the following day's partner interactions and affect. These data provide further evidence of potentially important interactions between sleep, circadian, affective processes both within- and between-individuals.

Manías: un trastorno más común de lo que se piensaBalarezo López, Gunther, Balarezo Galarreta, José Manuel 07 1900 (has links)
El objetivo del presente trabajo es hacer una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura publicada sobre las manías. En tal sentido, se procedió a analizar diversas publicaciones resumiendo los aspectos más relevantes de este tema. Las manías son mucho más comunes y recién uno se percata de ellas cuando las padecen personas del entorno familiar, social o laboral. Entre las manías más frecuentes se puede mencionar las relacionadas a limpieza, salud, orden, seguridad física o psicológica y de acumulación de objetos. Las personas que sufren este trastorno no son conscientes que están enfermos por lo que buscan ni aceptan el tratamiento. / The aim of this study is to make a literature review of the published articles on manias. In this regard, we proceeded to analyze various publications summarizing the most relevant aspects of this issue. Manias are much more common and just one realizes it when we suffer or others have them. Among the most common manias, one can mention those related to cleanliness, health, order, physical or psychological accumulation of objects and security. People with this disorder are unaware that they are sick so they do not look for or accept the treatment.
