“…When mood is disturbed, it may engage attentional processes, and regulatory effort may be activated, both consuming resources not available for task performance (Ellis & Ashbrook, 1988). In addition, individuals who experience an adverse mood may have a lack of motivation to allocate resources to a task (Hertel, 2000), potentially because they are more motivated to engage in activities which repair mood. Additional research is required to test this latter speculation.…”

Across days, individuals experience varying levels of negative affect, control of attention, and motivation. We investigated whether this intraindividual variability was coupled with daily fluctuations in working memory (WM) performance. In 100 days, 101 younger individuals worked on a spatial N-back task and rated negative affect, control of attention, and motivation. Results showed that individuals differed in how reliably WM performance fluctuated across days, and that subjective experiences were primarily linked to performance accuracy. WM performance was lower on days with higher levels of negative affect, reduced control of attention, and reduced task-related motivation. Thus, variables that were found to predict WM in betweensubjects designs showed important relationships to WM at the within-person level. In addition, there was shared predictive variance among predictors of WM. Days with increased negative affect and reduced performance were also days with reduced control of attention and reduced motivation to work on tasks. These findings are in line with proposed mechanisms linking negative affect and cognitive performance.

“…Our findings demonstrate thatin a non-clinical sample-these problems can be overridden by an explicit and direct instruction. Thus, control of mood influences is possible in dysphoric individuals (see also Hertel 2000;Lyubomirsky and Nolen-Hoeksema 1995;Pyszczynski et al 1989, for examples of overcoming self-regulation deficits in depression and dysphoria).…”

Dysphorics can control depressive mood’s informational impact on effort mobilization

Individuals' level of depression has been shown to systematically determine their amount of effortrelated cardiovascular reactivity (see Brinkmann and Gendolla in Motiv Emot, 31:71-82, 2007; J Pers Soc Psychol, 94:146-157, 2008). By means of a mood cue manipulation the present study aimed at providing a conclusive test whether this is due to the informational impact of depressed mood. After habituation, students with low versus high depression scores worked on a memory task under ''do-your-best'' instructions. Half of them received a cue before the task, suggesting that their current mood may have an impact during task performance. As expected, dysphoric participants showed higher systolic blood pressure reactivity during task performance than nondysphorics when no cue was given. This pattern was reversed in the cue condition, indicating that dysphorics effectively managed to reduce the depressive mood impact on their task demand appraisals and effort mobilization.

“…Recall tests (or other unstructured memory tests) are potentially more sensitive to the effects of mood states on memory, particularly for participants with MDD (Hertel, 2000). There is a greater cognitive load placed on memory processes with recall tasks and thus differences may be heightened between controls and participants with MDD.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractThe Deese/Roediger-McDermott paradigm was used to investigate the effect of depression on true and false recognition. In this experiment, true and false recognition was examined across positive, neutral, negative, and depression-relevant lists for individuals with and without a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Results showed that participants with major depressive disorder falsely recognized significantly more depression-relevant words than non-depressed controls. These findings also parallel recent research using recall instead of recognition and show that there are clear mood congruence effects for depression on false memory performance.
