“…Thus, after finishing the intervention, the compensatory group felt worse than the iso group. The finding that significant between-group differences were only observed concerning negative affect is in line with evidence that it is easier to induce negative affect than positive affect (e.g., Out et al, 2020).…”

Music listening can modulate affective states. Individuals can choose music that is congruent or incongruent with their current affective state. Music therapy intervention manuals suggest that individuals who suffer from mental disorders should listen to music according to the iso principle. This involves listening to music that initially matches the current affective state, and then gradually shifting to listening to music that represents a desired state. In the current study, 59 healthy participants underwent a sadness induction by being shown a movie clip designed to induce sadness. They were subsequently divided into two experimental groups: the iso group and the compensatory group. The iso group listened to a sad song first, followed by a happy song. The compensatory group listened to two happy songs. All participants rated their current affective state prior to and after the sadness induction, and after listening to each of the songs. In addition, trait affect and personality were assessed. The results indicated that the movie clip induced sadness in both experimental groups. After listening to the two songs, the iso group reported significantly lower negative affect than the compensatory group. Final affective state was related to trait affect and personality. We conclude that listening to music according to the iso principle is effective in modulating affective state. Individuals who listen to music according to the iso principle should experience changes of affect in line with the music’s affective shift.

Emotion measurement is crucial to conducting emotion research. Numerous studies have extensively employed textual scales for psychological and organizational behavior research. However, emotions are transient states of organisms with relatively short duration, some insurmountable limitations of textual scales have been reported, including low reliability for single measurement or susceptibility to learning effects for multiple repeated use. In the present article, we introduce the Highly Dynamic and Reusable Picture-based Scale (HDRPS), which was randomly generated based on 3,386 realistic, high-quality photographs that are divided into five categories (people, animals, plants, objects, and scenes). Affective ratings of the photographs were gathered from 14 experts and 209 professional judges. The HDRPS was validated using the Self-Assessment Manikin and the PANAS by 751 participants. With an accuracy of 89.73%, this new tool allows researchers to measure individual emotions continuously for their research. The non-commercial use of the HDRPS system can be freely accessible by request at http://syy.imagesoft.cc:8989/Pictures.7z. HDRPS is used for non-commercial academic research only. As some of the images are collected through the open network, it is difficult to trace the source, so please contact the author if there are any copyright issues.

“…A second study indicated that inclusion of taboo words in a picture-word interference task, changes the effect of non-taboo emotion words during speech production (White and Abrams, 2021). Expanding the horizon to more natural dialogue, recent results suggest that mood can influence the alignment in referring expressions produced in an interactive context (Out et al, 2020). This new promising line of research is still in its infancy.…”

Context effects in language comprehension: The role of emotional state and attention on semantic and syntactic processing

Semantics and syntax are core components of language. The prevailing view was that processing of word meaning and syntactic processing happens in isolation from other systems. In light of proofed interactions between language and other systems, especially with perception, action and emotion, this view became untenable. This article reviews Event-related potential studies conducted at the Donders Centre for Cognition exploring the interplay between language comprehension and a person’s emotional state. The research program was aimed at an investigation of the online effects of emotional state on semantic processing and syntactic processing. To this aim we manipulated mood via film fragments (happy vs. sad) before participants read neutral sentences while their EEG was recorded. In Part 1, it is shown that mood impacts online semantic processing (as indicated by N400) and the processing of syntactic violations (as indicated by P600). Part 2 was directed at a further determination of the mechanisms underlying these interactions. The role of heuristics was examined by investigating the effects of mood on the P600 to semantic reversals. The results revealed that mood affects heuristic processing. The next step consisted of an assessment of the role of attention, in the mood-by-semantics and mood-by-syntax interaction. This was accomplished by recording EEG while manipulating attention via task next to emotional state. Participants performed a semantic or syntactic judgment task vs. a letter-size judgment task. The main ERP results were as follows: (i) attention interacts with the mood effect on semantic processing and syntactic processing, respectively, (ii) the effects of mood on semantic processing and syntactic processing are reliable, and (iii) the mood effects on semantic processing are not fixed but context-dependent. In Part 3 the effects of mood on the processing of script knowledge and general world knowledge are presented. Part 4 closes with a discussion of the mechanisms involved in the mood-by-language interactions and recommendations for future research. Regarding the underlying mechanism we propose that heuristics based on semantic expectancies or syntactic expectancies play a key role in the mood-by-language interactions. The results support the view that language takes place in continuous interaction with other (non-language) systems.
