“…Table 3 lists the sources of the music excerpts, which varied in duration from 1.3 to 3.5 minutes. Research has shown music to be an effective emotioninduction technique (Pignatiello, Camp, Elder & Rasar, 1989;Thayer, 1986;Uitdehaage & Thayer, 1988;Wedin, 1972). The music used in the present study has been shown to induce feelings of happiness, sadness, serenity, and agitation that can be discriminated by both subjective responses and physiological response patterns (Nyklicek, Thayer & VanDoornen, 1997).…”

The dimensional structure of emotion was investigated using self reports of induced mood and idiographic and nomothetic analyses. Subjects attended four experimental sessions during which an array of affective states was induced via auditory, visual, and imaginal channels. For each of 118 stimulus events, subjects self-rated their response. Factor analysis yielded the predicted bipolar factors of valence and arousal: these were obtained in group-aggregated analysis and subsequently confirmed as change dimensions at the intraindividual level. Controversy over the fundamental dimensions of affective space was considered with respect to methodological issues such as factor rotation and sampling of data space. Valence and arousal are discussed as motivational, driving parameters of affective experience and a dynamical systems conceptualization of emotion is proposed.

“…Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that subjects report mood honestly (e.g., Clark & Teasdale, 1985). Future research, however, might address this issue by using, for example, psychophysiological measures such as heart rate, finger pulse amplitude, or respiration rate that have been correlated with self-reports of mood changes (see Dubitsky, 1995;Gendolla, Abele , & Kruesken, 2001;Pignatiello, Camp, Elder, & Rasar, 1989).…”

The present study investigated the transfer of induced happy and sad mood functions through equivalence relations. Sixteen subjects participated in a combined equivalence and mood induction procedure. In Phase 1, all subjects were trained in 2 conditional discriminations using a matching-to-sample format (i.e., A 1-B1, A2-B2, A 1-C1 , A2-C2). In Phase 2, they were tested for the formation of symmetry (i.e., B1-A 1, B2-A2, C1-A 1, C2-A2), and equivalence relations (i.e. , B1 -C1 , B2-C2, C1-B1, C2-B2) . In Phase 3, a musical mood induction procedure was employed to induce happy and sad mood states in the presence of the B stimuli. Eight subjects were exposed to happy music in the presence of B1, and sad music in the presence of B2, and for the other 8 subjects, this mood induction was reversed. In Phase 4, subjects were exposed to a mood functions test to determine whether the appropriate mood functions had been established with the B stimuli. In Phase 5, they were exposed to a transfer of mood functions test to determine whether the appropriate happy and sad mood functions had transferred via equivalence from the B stimuli to the C stimuli. The mood measures showed that the specific mood functions established in the prese,nce of the B stimuli successfully transferred to the C stimuli for the majority of subjects. This transfer of mood function effect is discussed in terms of its implications for a behavioral understanding of mood changes.Stimulus equivalence has generated a great deal of empirical and theoretical interest amongst the behavior-analytic community in the last two decades. The fundamental feature of the equivalence phenomenon is that it demonstrates the emergence of novel forms of derived stimulus control that are not readily explained by the three-term contingency This work was prepared wh ile Yvonne Barnes-Holmes was funded by the National University of Ireland , Maynooth .

“…Consistent with previous studies using the MMI strategy, we did not inform participants that the purpose of the music was to alter mood states. In previous studies, 20 min of music administration produced self-reported changes in mood consistent with the targeted mood valence (Adaman & Blaney, 1995;Pignatiello, Camp, Elder, & Rasar, 1989;Pignatiello et al, 1986). Participants listened to the music selections for 20 min before the SAP, and then during the task.…”

The purpose of the present study was to experimentally examine the influence of a self‐aggressive model on self‐aggressive behavior under controlled laboratory conditions. Participants (N= 94) were given the opportunity to self‐administer electric shock while competing with a fictitious opponent in a reaction‐time task. Participants observed the opponent self‐administer either increasingly intense shock (a self‐aggressive model) or constant low shocks (a non‐self‐aggressive model). Self‐aggression was defined as the intensity of shock that was self‐administered by participants. Results provide support for the notion that social information can influence the expression of self‐aggressive behavior. Specifically, participants attended to the opponent's shock choices in both model conditions, and chose shocks consistent with those of the observed model.
