个人可以应用不同的处理策略来处理他们遇到的情况。社会认知研究的一个中心问题是决定依赖不同处理策略的因素。从功能的角度来看,认为处理策略需要调整的情况下的要求,我们认为,个人的情绪携带信息的良性与有问题的性质的情况下,因此,情绪可以调节认知加工。专注于心理抽象,我们提出,积极的情绪有助于处理风格的特点是依赖于先验知识的形式,一般的知识结构,而消极的情绪eltered处理风格的特点是注意细节和考虑新的情况具体的信息。
Individuals can apply different processing strategies to deal with situations they encounter. One central question in social-cognition research refers to the factors that determine reliance on different processing strategies. Parting from a functional perspective, which holds that processing strategies need to be adjusted to the requirements of the situation, we argue that individuals' mood carries information about the benign versus problematic nature of the situation and thus that mood can regulate cognitive processing. Focusing on mental abstraction, we propose that positive mood contributes to a processing style characterized by reliance on prior knowledge in the form of general knowledge structures, whereas negative mood elicits a processing style characterized by attention to details and consideration of new situation-specific information.
