“…Another experiment found that anxiety (which falls under negative affect) can significantly disrupt visuospatial working memory, leaving verbal working memory intact [45]. Our study is partially based on these prior findings, and apply the same text-based affective priming techniques as presented by Goeritz and Verheyen [21,48].…”

Recent research suggests that individual personality differences can influence performance with visualizations. In addition to stable personality traits, research in psychology has found that temporary changes in affect (emotion) can also significantly impact performance during cognitive tasks. In this paper, we show that affective priming also influences user performance on visual judgment tasks through an experiment that combines affective priming with longstanding graphical perception experiments. Our results suggest that affective priming can influence accuracy in common graphical perception tasks. We discuss possible explanations for these findings, and describe how these findings can be applied to design visualizations that are less (or more) susceptible to error in common visualization contexts.

“…The effect sizes of the mood inductions in this experiment can also be compared to Göritz (2007), who used some of the texts also used in this study but on another sample. The positive induction in Göritz (2007, Study 4) used the same text that was used in POS3, albeit accompanied by two cartoons featuring children.…”

“…Distress in NEG2 was comparable to the control groups. However, if more shocking material for a negative mood induction is to be used (e.g., explicit pictures or videos), participants should be warned beforehand and given the opportunity to quit the study or skip this part of the study (Göritz, 2007).…”

Abstract. This experiment examined six short texts for their effectiveness in inducing positive or negative mood in an online environment. Compared to two control groups, the texts successfully changed mood in the desired direction for mood measured on a single-item self-report scale. In accordance with previous research, negative mood was induced more effectively than positive mood. In addition to the self-report mood measure, two non-self-report mood measures are used; namely, word-pleasantness ratings and subjective probabilities of negative life-events. Pleasantness ratings of uncommon words seemed to be a suitable measure for mood, whereas subjective probabilities of negative life-events were not.

“…However, we argue that participants should be given a method of indicating that their previous responses may not be used, if they withdraw because new information makes them find the study objectionable (e.g., explanation of deception) or because they are uncomfortable providing certain information to the researchers (e.g., confidential or emotionally sensitive information). The data withdrawal option should be presented after the new information or emotionally sensitive questions, as was done by Göritz (2006), or as part of the debriefing, as has been suggested by the University of New Hampshire Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research (2005).…”

It is increasingly easy and, therefore, increasingly common to conduct experiments and questionnaire studies in online environments. However, the online environment is not a data collection medium that is familiar to many researchers or to many research methods instructors. Because of this, researchers have received little information about how to address ethical issues when conducting online research. Researchers need practical suggestions on how to translate federal and professional ethics codes into this new data collection medium. This article assists United States psychologists in designing online studies that meet accepted standards for informed consent, deception, debriefing, the right to withdraw, security of test materials, copyright of participants' materials, confidentiality and anonymity, and avoiding harm.
