“…Having rapid mood swings and usually emotional, the rating response of the high scorers may be influenced by their mood state at the time of the experiment. This suggestion is supported by findings suggesting possible roles of personality traits and mood states in the processing of emotional information (review by Rusting, 1998). For example, Isen & Shalker (1982) found that people in a positive mood state gave ratings for presented slides as more pleasant, while those in a negative mood rated them as more unpleasant.…”

and Related Visual Contrast Sensitivity Haruetai Mekaroonreung (ABSTRACT) This research was designed to investigate the relationship between Trait-based Individual differences (neuroticism and extraversion) and glare subjective responses as well as the actual contrast sensitivity when exposed to the same manipulated glare condition. In addition, the relationship between the glare subjective responses and actual contrast sensitivity was investigated. To examine the trait-based individual differences, the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) was used while the subjective glare experience was examined utilizing modified glare discomfort rating scale. The visual performance was measured through the contrast sensitivity level using adjustable contrast level of the Landolt's C target. This investigation compared 36 individuals (9 high neuroticism scorers, 9 low neuroticism scorers, 9 high extraversion scorers, and 9 low extraversion scorers) on subjective discomfort glare rating responses and visual contrast sensitivity. The study is directed toward improving our understanding of influencing factors on the experience of discomfort glare, which may eventually be applied to the design of glare measurement methods, and toward training and selection of drivers and workers who may work under conditions of glare. Results indicated significant effect of extraversion trait on rating response while insignificant effect on visual related performance was found. The relationships between rating response and visual performance were also found to be quite low in this study. In conclusion, the expected model was supported but only on the extraversion trait. RationaleFeelings of discomfort glare have been widely assessed with rating scales for various purposes, especially in the design of lighting configurations such as street lighting and visual display terminal (VDT) systems. However, consensus is lacking among researchers in terms of discomfort glare assessment methods (Gellatly and Weintraub, 1990;Lennie & Van Hemel, 2002;Olson & Sivak, 1984;Sivak & Flannagan, 1994). Although the between-subject variations in rating scores are repeatedly reported to be quite high, the subjective glare rating has been the method used for many years.Several subjective rating scales have been proposed since the 1960s (De Boer, 1967a).Among these rating scales, the 9 point De Boer scale is most often used in the field of automotive and public lighting systems (Theeuwes, 2002) while some other scales such as Visual Analog Scale (VAS) are used less frequently.As suggested by few researchers (Berman et al., 1994;Theeuwes, 2002), one underlying reason for the large variability of this subjective response could be the result of differences in the observers' trait rather than visual impairment. For example, people with dispositions related to worry or anxiety may have a perceived criterion for discomfort that is much lower than those who have dispositions that are less anxiety or worry prone. As a result, the worried people could exhibit more...

“…This literature generally supports the idea that negative affect is associated with negative self-relevant cognitions, including the retrieval of negative autobiographical memories (i.e., mood congruency; for reviews, see: Sedikides, 1992;Rusting, 1998). There is, however, some evidence to suggest that negative affect can also increase the retrieval and accessibility of positive autobiographical memories under certain circumstances (i.e., mood incongruency).…”

Seven methodologically diverse studies addressed 3 fundamental questions about nostalgia.Studies 1 and 2 examined the content of nostalgic experiences. Descriptions of nostalgic experiences typically featured the self as a protagonist in interactions with close others (e.g., friends) or in momentous events (e.g., weddings). Also, the descriptions contained more expressions of positive than negative affect and often depicted the redemption of negative lifescenes by subsequent triumphs. Studies 3 and 4 examined triggers of nostalgia and revealed that nostalgia occurs in response to negative mood and the discrete affective state of loneliness.Studies 5, 6, and 7 investigated the functional utility of nostalgia and established that nostalgia bolsters social bonds, increases positive self-regard, and generates positive affect. These findings demarcate key landmarks in the hitherto uncharted research domain of nostalgia.Nostalgia 3

“…Mood effects on emotion perception might also be influenced by personal lineaments Indeed interactions between personality traits and mood in affective information processing have been reported in several studies (Rusting, 1998). For example, in an affective word evaluation task (i.e., emotional vs. neutral), Tamir and Robinson (2004) found an interaction between neuroticism and negative mood.…”

The role of stable factors, such as alexithymia (i.e., difficulties identifying and expressing feelings, externally oriented cognitive style), or temporary factors, such as affective states (mood), on emotion perception has been widely investigated in the literature. However, little is known about the separate or joint effect of the alexithymia level and affective states (positive affectivity, negative affectivity) on the recognition of nonverbal emotional vocalizations (NEV) (e.g., laughs, cries, or sighs). In this study, participants had to categorize NEV communicating 10 emotions by selecting the correct verbal emotional label. Results show that the level of alexithymia is negatively correlated to the capacity to accurately categorize negative vocalizations, and more particularly sad NEV. On the other hand, negative affectivity appeared negatively correlated with the ability to accurately categorize NEV in general, and negative vocalizations in particular. After splitting the results by the alexithymia level (high vs. low scorers), significant associations between mood and accuracy rates were found in the group of high alexithymia scorers only. These findings support the idea that alexithymic features act across sensory modalities and suggest a mood-interference effect that would be stronger in those individuals.
