Self-Affirmation Reduces Biased Processing of Health-Risk InformationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 99-132 - 1998
Mark B. Reed, Lisa G. Aspinwall
An experiment tested whether a positive experience (the endorsement and recall of one's past acts of kindness) would reduce biased processing of self-relevant health-risk information. Women college students (N = 66) who reported high or low levels of daily caffeine use were exposed to both risk-confirming and risk-disconfirming information about the link between caffeine consumpti...... hiện toàn bộ
Familiarity increases subjective positive affect even in non-affective and non-evaluative contextsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 638-645 - 2016
Teresa Garcia-Marques, Marília Prada, Diane M. Mackie
Previous research shows that the experience of familiarity involves the experience of positive affect. In two experiments we clarify and extend this research by showing that the experience of familiarity involves the experience of positive affect even when the nature of the experimental task is non-affective and non-evaluative and even when participants are actively performing other cognitive oper...... hiện toàn bộ

Two studies were conducted to test hypotheses about the relationship of values to action within the context of expectancy-valence theory.

Partners in romantic relationships differ in the extent to which they are oriented towards positive outcomes (e.g., intimacy) or away from negative outcomes (e.g., conflict). The present study examines these approach-avoidance relationship goals in relation to self-reported relationship problems, stress communication, and dyadic coping. Hypotheses were tested on a dyadic level (Actor-Partner Inter...... hiện toàn bộ

Sixty female subjects performed a paired-associates learning task either alone or under surveillance by the experimenter, who openly evaluated the subject's performance. To half of the subjects the experimenter described her evaluation as instrumental to the rendering of future help on a similar task; to the remaining half she gave no such promise. Subjects who were evaluated without the expectati...... hiện toàn bộ
Simple geometric shapes are implicitly associated with affective valueSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 36 - Trang 404-413 - 2011
Christine L. Larson, Joel Aronoff, Elizabeth L. Steuer
Growing evidence suggests that the underlying geometry of a visual image is an effective mechanism for conveying the affective meaning of a scene or object. Indeed, even very simple context-free geometric shapes have been shown to signal emotion. Specifically, downward-pointing V’s are perceived as threatening and curvilinear forms are perceived as pleasant. As these shapes are thought to be primi...... hiện toàn bộ
