“…Those in the positive music group could recall more from the positive narratives than the negative narratives, and the same pattern was found for those in the negative music group. This mood congruence theory is quite robust, and has been found in other domains as well (Drace, 2012;Edigi & Gerrig, 2009;Edigi & Nusbaum, 2012). Such research is important to the understanding that music can induce emotions which alter the way we process information.…”

Sivumäärä -Number of pages 55 or 83 with References and Appendices Tiivistelmä -AbstractThe effects of music on the brain have been extensively researched, and numerous connections have been found between music and language, music and emotion, and music and cognitive processing. Despite this work, these three research areas have never before been drawn together in a single research paradigm. This is significant as their combination could lead to valuable insights into the effects of musical valence on the cognitive processing of lyrics. Based on the feelings-as-information theory, which states that negative moods lead to analytic, systematic and fine-grained processing, while positive moods encourage holistic and heuristic-based processing, the current study (n = 64) used an error detection paradigm and found that significantly more error words were detected when paired with negatively valenced music compared to positively valenced music. Non-musicians were better at detecting error words than musicians, and native English speakers outperformed non-native English speakers.Such a result explains previous findings that sad and happy lyrics have differential effects on emotion induction, and suggests this is due to sad lyrics being processed at deeper semantic levels. This study provides a framework in which to understand the interaction of lyrics and music with emotion induction -a primary reason for listening to music.

“…However, this research seems to be characterized by an important limitation that we propose to address in the present study. As described in Drace's (2013) procedure, participants in the cold induction condition were instructed to pay attention to various situational details whereas participants in the hot condition had to vividly imagine themselves as a witness of each situation. Considering these differences, it is possible that participants in the hot condition were accidentally led to think more about positive or negative consequences, or implications of the situation presented in the picture, which are different semantic concepts from the ones activated in the cold condition (i.e., objects, colours, places; which could be more neutral).…”

“…In order to address these concerns, we designed an experiment that follows a procedure similar to the one used by Drace (2013) with substantial changes. Considering that different instructions could engender different levels of semantic activation we chose a standard procedure that mirrored the hot induction procedure.…”

“…The mood induction procedure was similar to the one used by Drace and his colleagues (Drace, 2013;Drace et al, 2009;Drace et al, 2010). During a period of 10 minutes, participants were asked to look at a series of pictures while listening to music.…”

“…To disentangle the role of affective and semantic processes, Drace (2013) recently proposed an alternative method, which consisted in utilisation of the hot and cold mood inductions (Lantermann & Otto, 1996;Siemer, 2005). In both conditions participants were asked to look at a series of positive or negative pictures while listening to music.…”

This study analyzes the production and recall of future thoughts during the COVID‐19 lockdown. Participants were free to produce future thoughts (Experiment 1) or received cues to promote production (Experiment 2), and then were asked to recall as many of the future thoughts produced as possible. The Valence (positive vs. negative) and the Event Type (personal vs. collective) thoughts were considered. In production and recall, there were no global differences between the positive and negative thoughts in Experiment 1, whereas in Experiment 2 the cues led to more positive than negative ones. More importantly, a Valence × Event Type interaction was observed in both experiments for production and recall data, indicating a positivity bias for personal and a negativity bias for collective future thinking. These findings contribute to a better understanding of mental time travel in situations as complex as the COVID‐19 pandemic.
