Cognitive Consequences of Emotion

9311879克洛雷摘要在各种任务中，最近的研究表明，社交信息处理受到背景情绪状态影响的趋势出人意料地一致。积极情感的体验似乎促进了启发式信息过程(依赖于概括、刻板印象、图式、期望，但也包括创造性思维)。负面情绪会导致更系统的处理(注意细节、分析思维和逻辑的运用)。对于这些效应，已经提出了几种解释。这项研究将考察这些效应发生的社会和非社会信息加工条件，并检验主要解释的预测。这些关于这些普遍倾向的新信息有望更清晰地描绘出情感因素影响日常思想和行动的过程。

9311879 Clore ABSTRACT Across a variety of tasks, recent research has shown a surprisingly consistent tendency for social information processing to be affected by background mood states. The experience of positive affect appears to foster heuristic information processes (reliance on generalizations, stereotypes, schemata, expectations, but also creative thinking). Negative affect leads to more systematic processing (attention to detail, use of analytic thinking and logic). Several explanations for these effects have been advanced. This research will examine the social and nonsocial information processing conditions under which these effects occur and test predictions from the major explanations. Such new information about these pervasive tendencies promises a clearer picture of the processes by which emotional factors affect everyday thought and action.
