“…Moreover, these effects were unique from positive and negative emotions, suggesting that mixed emotions are distinctive affective states (Vaccaro et al, 2020). Although positive emotions may also broaden thought processes (Fredrickson, 2001), they may encourage uncritical acceptance of pro-attitudinal or mood-congruent information (Forgas & East, 2008;Ziegler, 2014). Furthermore, while negative emotions may reduce gullibility (Forgas, 2019), they also encourage impulsivity (Selby et al, 2016) and ineffective coping (Tran et al, 2019).…”

We report four studies (N=1419) examining emotional reactions from March to April 2020, when COVID-19 exhibited exponentially increasing infections and fatalities. Specifically, we examined associations between emotions with self-reported intentions to enact virus-prevention behaviors that protect oneself from COVID-19 and eudaimonic functioning. Study 1A, 1B, and Study 2 provided naturalistic evidence that mixed emotions predicted legitimate virus-prevention behaviors and eudaimonic functioning in the USA and Singapore, and Study 2 also supported receptivity as a mediator. Finally, Study 3 provided experimental evidence that mixed emotions causally increased legitimate virus-prevention behaviors relative to neutral, positive emotion, and negative emotion conditions, whereas eudaimonic functioning was increased only relative to the neutral condition. Across all studies, positive and negative emotions were unrelated to legitimate virus-prevention behaviors, while relationships with eudaimonic functioning were inconsistent. While self-reported measures do not represent actual behaviors, the findings suggest a potential role for mixed emotions in pandemic-related outcomes.

Attitudes are evaluations of objects in one's intrapsychic or social environment. These evaluations play a key role in perception, thinking, and behavior. As such, attitudes are directly relevant to virtually any realm in which human behavior plays a key role. In this chapter, we discuss the thriving research literature on attitudes and attitude change, linking current theories and questions to the history of related work that extends back to the early 1900s. In so doing, we also link current and previous research questions to the cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and neuroscientific questions that have contributed to the field's current understanding of attitude‐related phenomena.

Purpose People with depression tend to hold on to negative expectations despite positive expectation-disconfirming experiences. Research has made progress on understanding the cognitive mechanisms underlying these problems, however, knowledge about affective mechanisms is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the influence of affect and affect regulation on expectation change in depression. Methods N = 80 outpatients with depression completed two parts of a performance test. In a randomized order, they received positive feedback after one part and negative feedback after the other part. Participants either received an induction of amusement (n = 40) or sadness (n = 40) before each part of the test. Affect regulation was assessed using self-report measures. Performance expectations were measured before taking the test, after receiving positive feedback, and after receiving negative feedback. Expectation change was defined as the degree to which participants lowered vs. raised their expectations in response to the respective feedback. Results Expectation change was larger in response to negative than to positive feedback. Affect did not influence expectation change. The results suggest that baseline expectations and affect regulation influenced expectation change in sad participants. Conclusion The results show that people with depression have more difficulty adapting their expectations if new information is positive than if it is negative. State affect, however, did not influence expectation change, most likely because the effects of the emotion-inducing video-clips were not long-lasting enough. Our results point out the relevance of further exploring the effect of baseline expectations and affect regulation on expectation change.
