摘要：

A person's mood may directly affect a judgment of the uncertainty of a future event. Subjective probabilities were reported by subjects in a happy, neutral, or sad mood for personal and nonpersonal events. Two moods were induced by having the subject focus on particularly happy and sad personal experiences. Large, consistent mood effects are indicated. Relative to control subjects, happy people are "optimistic;" i.e., they report higher probabilities for positive events and lower probabilities for negative events. Conversely, sad people are "pessimistic," providing lower (higher) probabilities for positive (negative) events. Mood-state-dependent retrieval of information is indicated. © 1992.
