| Abstract |
Attention is influenced by mood, stimulus characteristics, and personality traits. Many studies have reported on the tendency to attend to negative stimuli, which is elicited by the induction of a neg...ative mood. However, few studies have compared the effects of negative, positive, and neutral stimuli on this attention bias. The different effect of inducing positive and negative moods on visual-search performance for Kanji-combination words was investigated. Participants listened to negative or positive music to induce the mood and then choose negative, positive or neutral Kanji-combination words from scrambled Kanji grids. The result showed that music had no effect on mood induction; however, participants choose more emotional than neutral words, regardless of their mood. These findings suggest that emotional words are more likely to be chosen than neutral Kanji-combination words, regardless of the mood induced by music.show more
