“…Usually, participants have to recollect the event as vividly as possible, relieving and reexperiencing the emotions, sensations, perceptions, and reactions (Westermann et al, 1996). This procedure can be used alone or combined with other mood induction procedures (Jallais & Gilet, 2010). Studies comparing different mood induction procedures have demonstrated the greater effectiveness of autobiographical recall relative to other approaches (Gilet, 2008;Jallais & Gilet, 2010;Zhang, Yu, & Barrett, 2014), especially when it is used to induce positive emotions (Strack, Schwarz, & Gschneidinger, 1985).…”

“…More recently, neuroimaging techniques have also been used to investigate the neural correlates of affective phenomena and emotions, including happiness (for reviews, see Phan, Wager, Taylor, & Liberzon, 2002;Vytal & Hamann, 2010). This area of research requires mood induction procedures (see Westermann, Spies, Stahl, & Hesse, 1996, for a review), and one of the most effective is autobiographical recall (Baker & Gutterfreund, 1993;Jallais & Gilet, 2010).…”

Although very difficult to define, happiness is becoming a core concept within contemporary psychology and affective neuroscience. In the last two decades, the increased use of neuroimaging techniques has facilitated empirical study of the neural correlates of happiness. This area of research utilizes procedures that induce positive emotion and mood, and autobiographical recall is one of the most widely used and effective approaches. In this article, we review eight positron emission tomography and seven functional magnetic resonance imaging studies that have investigated happiness by using autobiographical recall to induce emotion. Regardless of the neuroimaging technique used, the studies conducted so far have shown that remembering happy events is primarily associated with the activation of many areas, including anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, and insula. Importantly, these areas are also found to be connected with other basic emotions, such as sadness and anger. In the conclusion, we integrate these findings, discussing important limitations of the extant literature and suggesting new research directions.Keywords Happiness . Autobiographical recall . PET . fMRI . Mood induction methodsDefining happiness is a difficult task for natural and social scientists, including psychologists, economists, sociologists, geneticists, and neuroscientists. Indeed, happiness is a term often used to refer to and that is interchangeable with many other concepts, such as well-being, flourishing, optimal functioning, life satisfaction, quality of life, and health

“…In any event, an anxiety induction procedure that consists of reading Velten self-statements plus listening to anxiogenic music followed by a short incubation period seems to be a valid procedure for most adults, independently of their age. This procedure would be a successful combination and would imply a first induction that occupies foreground attention and a second one that contributes to a congruent background atmosphere (Jallais & Gilet, 2010). There are some general problems inherent to the use of experimental mood induction procedures.…”

Título: Eficacia diferencial de dos procedimientos de inducción de la ansiedad en poblaciones de jóvenes y adultos. Resumen: En este estudio se comparó la eficacia en personas mayores y jóvenes de dos procedimientos habituales para inducir experimentalmente ansiedad: a) frases auto-referenciales Velten combinadas con música; b) escenas de películas. Así, este trabajo extendió hallazgos previos en este campo a la poca estudiada área de la inducción de estados de ánimo en la edad avanzada. Se asignó aleatoriamente a 57 personas mayores y 94 estudiantes universitarios a una de las dos condiciones experimentales o aun grupo control. Los resultados mostraron que ambos procedimientos eran efectivos, de acuerdo con el cambio en varios ANOVAs para diferentes autoinformes y medidas fisiológicas y conductuales. Asimismo, los tamaños del efecto más elevados se encontraron en el procedimiento Velten (g = .81 vs. g = .71) y los efectos fueron significativamente mayores en jóvenes que en personas mayores (g = 1.0 vs. g = .62 en la condición Velten; Q=4.25,  2 (1), p = .0392). Los dos procedimientos fueron efectivos para inducir ansiedad en ambos grupos de edad, aunque especialmente en el caso del procedimiento Velten en los jóvenes. Por tanto, el uso de frases Velten combinadas con música parece un procedimiento útil para inducir ansiedad en investigaciones en situaciones controladas sobre las emociones a lo largo del ciclo vital. Palabras clave: Emoción; cognición; inducción del estado de ánimo; experimento; envejecimiento. Abstract:In this study, we tested in older and younger adults the efficacy of two well-known procedures to experimentally induce anxiety: a) Velten self-statements combined with music; b) film scenes. We extended the previous findings in this field to the understudied area of mood induction in older adults. Fifty-seven older adults and 94 college students were randomly assigned to one of the experimental conditions or to a control group. Results indicated that both procedures were effective, according to a series of ANOVAs for several self-report, physiological, and behavioral measures. Likewise, the highest effect sizes were observed for the Velten procedure (g = .81 vs. g = .71), and the effects were significantly higher in younger (g = 1.0 in the Velten condition) than in older adults (g = .62), Q = 4.25,  2 (1), p = .0392. Both procedures were effective to induce inducting anxiety in both age groups, especially the Velten procedure in younger adults. Therefore, Velten self-statements combined with music may be very useful anxiety induction procedure for further research in controlled situations of emotions across the life-span.
