The Relation of Norms and Memory for Emotion

The SWB measures have been shown to converge and diverge in interesting ways. Specifically, people memory for emotion differs from their momentary experience of emotions. Systematic factors such as norms guide the reconstruction of memories for past emotions. Several studies have shown that norms play a role in shaping reports of emotions. However, these studies have only used global and retrospective reports of emotion, or have not measured norms directly. The current study directly examined the level at which norms operate on emotions current mood and recalled emotions using the experience sampling method. Results indicate that norms operate on recalled emotion and not momentary emotion. Further, the correlation between recalled emotion and norms is stronger for pleasant than unpleasant emotion.
