“…Cheerfulness has a tradition in psychological research for more than 100 years (e.g., Morgan et al, 1919). Trait cheerfulness, seriousness, and bad mood have been proposed to form the temperamental basis of humor.…”

“…In the first stream, studies have shown that (a) when asked to list items from various categories (e.g., foods, colors, books, etc. ), subjects tended to list more preferred (as determined by subsequent self-ratings) items earlier in the list (Myers, 1915), (b) when asked to list pleasant and unpleasant items, subjects list more pleasant than unpleasant items even though both tasks were performed over an equal length of time (Bousfield & Barry, 1937), and (c) subjects produced more positively toned than negatively toned associations to a series of words in a word-association test (Morgan, Mull & Washburn, 1919). These results suggest that affectively positive material is both more readily available in memory and more plentiful.…”

The impact of television-program-generated moods on the processing of embedded advertisements was examined within an experimental setting. Results show that program-induced moods affected the amount of message recall and cognitive responses toward the advertisement. In addition, the results show that the affective bias in the cognitive responses toward the advertisement is affected by programinduced moods. The implications of the results and directions for a program of research are discussed.

“…In the early 1900s, researchers reported that pleasant information was remembered better than unpleasant information (Laird, 1923; Tait, 1913; Thomson, 1930; Tolman, 1917) and that word lists were remembered better when followed by a pleasant rather than an unpleasant passage (Tait, 1913). Others of that era reported that temperament, or global mood, was related to memory, with more cheerful participants being slower or less likely to recall unpleasant experiences (Baxter, Yamada, & Washburn, 1917; Morgan, Mull, & Washburn, 1919).…”

Emotions have important and powerful effects on cognitive processes. Although it is well established that memory influences liking, we sought to document whether liking influences memory. A series of 6 experiments examined whether liking is related to recognition memory for novel music excerpts. In the general method, participants listened to a set of music excerpts and rated how much they liked each one. After a delay, they heard the same excerpts plus an equal number of novel excerpts and made recognition judgments, which were then examined in conjunction with liking ratings. Higher liking ratings were associated with improved recognition performance after a 10-min (Experiment 1) or 24-hr (Experiment 2) delay between the exposure and test phases. The findings were similar when participants made liking ratings after recognition judgments (Experiments 3 and 6), when possible confounding effects of similarity and familiarity were held constant (Experiment 4), and when a deeper level of processing was encouraged for all the excerpts (Experiment 5). Recognition did not vary as a function of liking for previously unheard excerpts (Experiment 6). The results implicate a direct association between liking and recognition. Considered jointly with previous findings, it is now clear that listeners tend to like music that they remember and to remember music that they like.
