Effects of Mood on Evaluative Judgements: Influence of Reduced Processing Capacity and Mood Salience

Abstract / Description
Schwarz and Clore (1983) proposed that the effects of mood on evaluative
judgements are due to people's use of a "feeling heuristic'. Results of the
present study suggest that this heuristic is particularly likely to be used
under conditions of reduced processing capacity, induced by time pressure
and competing task demands, as both factors intensified the effects of
mood on evaluative judgements. In addition, previous findings that
increasing the salience of a judgement-irrelevant cause disrupts the effects
of mood on evaluative judgements were replicated. All of these effects
were, however, obtained only when mood was salient to the participants,
suggesting that to be effective, mood must exceed a threshold of salience.
Taken together, the findings further support the hypothesis that at least in
some situations, the effects of moods on evaluative judgements are based
on a controlled inference strategy, rather than on automatic priming
effects.
