- Abstract:
- This study investigated the relationship between awareness and acknowledgement of mood, intensity of emotions, and types of memories retrieved after a negative mood induction. Ninety-four participants completed questionnaires containing the predictor variables that assessed ability to attend to moods, experience clear emotions, repair and regulate mood, and ability to experience intense emotions. Participants were exposed to a negative mood induction, after which they wrote four memory events from the previous week. The memory events were evaluated by independent raters for their positivity or negativity. A positive overall rating of the reported memories for each participant represented mood incongruent effects and negative overall ratings represented mood congruent effects. The first hypothesis that awareness and acknowledgement of current negative mood predicted intensity of experienced emotions was supported. The second hypothesis that awareness, acknowledgement of current negative mood, and ability to experience intense emotions are predictors of mood congruent and mood incongruent recall effects was not supported.
