暂时性情绪是否会影响基本归因错误的发生？基于最近的情感认知理论和归因研究，3个实验预测并发现，由于这些情感状态的信息加工后果，消极情绪减少和积极情绪增加FAE。在实验一中，快乐情绪增强和悲伤情绪减少的基础上强迫文章主张不受欢迎的意见的性格归因。实验2在现场研究中使用不引人注目的情绪诱导复制了这种效果。实验3进一步证实了这些结果，也表明，在FAE的变化与情绪引起的处理风格的差异，所示的记忆数据和中介分析证实。结果进行了讨论的认知加工策略，调解情绪的影响归因。日常推理和当代理论的影响和认知的研究结果的影响。
Does temporary mood influence the occurrence of the fundamental attribution error (FAE)? Based on recent affect-cognition theorizing and research on attributions, 3 experiments predicted and found that negative moods decrease and positive moods increase the FAE, because of the information-processing consequences of these affective states. In Experiment 1, happy mood enhanced and sad mood reduced dispositional attributions based on coerced essays advocating unpopular opinions. Experiment 2 replicated this effect using an unobtrusive mood induction in a field study. Experiment 3 further confirmed these results and also showed that changes in the FAE were linked to mood-induced differences in processing style, as indicated by memory data and confirmed by mediational analyses. The results are discussed in terms of the cognitive processing strategies that mediate mood effects on attributions. The implications of the findings for everyday inferences and for contemporary theories of affect and cognition are considered.
