两项研究测试了作为认知反馈的情感模型，其中积极和消极的情感状态不是唯一与特定的处理风格，而是作为当前可访问的处理风格的反馈。这些研究扩展了现有的工作，调查（a）偶然和整体的影响，（B）外群体的判断，（c）下游的后果。我们操纵处理风格和偶然（研究1）或整体（研究2）的影响和测量的感知外组同质性。积极的（相对于消极的）影响增加外组同质性判断时，全球处理启动，但在本地启动，效果逆转（研究1和2）。一个类似的互动效应出现在归因上，这对行为意图产生了下游影响（研究2）。这些结果表明，无论是偶然的和整体的影响不直接产生特定的处理风格，而是通过提供有关当前可访问的处理风格的反馈影响思维。
Two studies tested the affect-as-cognitive-feedback model, in which positive and negative affective states are not uniquely associated with particular processing styles, but rather serve as feedback about currently accessible processing styles. The studies extend existing work by investigating (a) both incidental and integral affect, (b) out-group judgments, and (c) downstream consequences. We manipulated processing styles and either incidental (Study 1) or integral (Study 2) affect and measured perceptions of out-group homogeneity. Positive (relative to negative) affect increased out-group homogeneity judgments when global processing was primed, but under local priming, the effect reversed (Studies 1 and 2). A similar interactive effect emerged on attributions, which had downstream consequences for behavioral intentions (Study 2). These results demonstrate that both incidental and integral affect do not directly produce specific processing styles, but rather influence thinking by providing feedback about currently accessible processing styles.
