Relative effectiveness and validity of mood induction procedures : a meta-analysis

TLDR
The effectiveness and validity of 11 important mood induction procedures (MIPs) were comparatively evaluated by meta-analytical procedures as discussed by the authors, and two hundred and fifty effects of the experimental induction of positive, elated and negative, depressed mood in adult, non-clinical samples were integrated.
Abstract
The effectiveness and validity of 11 important mood induction procedures (MIPs) were comparatively evaluated by meta-analytical procedures. Two hundred and fifty effects of the experimental induction of positive, elated and negative, depressed mood in adult, non-clinical samples were integrated. Effect sizes were generally larger for negative than for positive mood inductions. The presentation of a film or story turned out to be most effective in inducing both positive and negative mood states. The effects are especially large when subjects are explicitly instructed to enter the specified mood state. For elated mood, all other MIPs yielded considerably lower effectiveness scores. For the induction of negative mood states, Imagination, Velten, Music, Social Interaction and Feedback MIPs were about as effective as the Film/Story MIP without instruction. Induction effects covaried with several study characteristics. Effects tend to be smaller when demand characteristics are controlled or subjects are not informed about the purpose of the experiment. For behavioural measures, effects are smaller than for self-reports but still larger than zero. Hence, the effects of MIPs can be partly, but not fully due to demand effects.

Does Positive Affect Influence Health

TL;DR: This review highlights consistent patterns in the literature associating positive affect (PA) and physical health and raises serious conceptual and methodological reservations, but suggests an association of trait PA and lower morbidity and of state and traitPA and decreased symptoms and pain.

Vocal communication of emotion: a review of research paradigms

TL;DR: It is suggested to use the Brunswikian lens model as a base for research on the vocal communication of emotion, which allows one to model the complete process, including both encoding, transmission, and decoding of vocal emotion communication.

Dealing with feeling: a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of strategies derived from the process model of emotion regulation.

TL;DR: The present meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of strategies derived from the process model of emotion regulation in modifying emotional outcomes as indexed by experiential, behavioral, and physiological measures and revealed differences in effectiveness between ER processes.

The affect system has parallel and integrative processing components: Form follows function.

TL;DR: Cacioppo et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the common metric governing approach-withdrawal is generally a single dimension at response stages that itself is the consequence of multiple operations, such as the activation function for positivity (appetition) and the activation functions for negativity (aversion), at earlier affective processing stages.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.
