This study found that positive moods and creative thinking styles enhance each other. When combined, they sustain positive feelings, supporting the compatibility thesis in emotion research.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Context:

  • Previous research focused on mood's influence on behavior and cognitive tasks.
  • Recent reviews often concentrate on positive affect and its impact on information processing.
  • This study shifts focus to the influence of cognitive style on mood states.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the effect of cognitive style on positive feeling states.
  • To test the compatibility thesis, which posits an interaction between mood and information processing style.
  • To determine if congruent mood and cognitive styles are necessary for mood effects.

Summary:

  • A 2x2x5 mixed design study involved 70 female students.
  • Participants underwent a mood induction procedure to elicit positive or neutral states.
  • Cognitive style was manipulated using creativity or intelligence tests.

Impact:

  • Results confirmed the compatibility thesis: positive mood and creative style maintained positive affect.
  • A neutral mood with analytic reasoning unexpectedly led to a mood decline.
  • Findings suggest the compatibility thesis may extend to negative emotions.
