Mood-dependent learning. II. Healthy subjects--influence of positive and negative feedback on expectancy shifts.
Changes of success expectancy in healthy test persons are investigated in this study. An experimental mood manipulation with the help of mood statements by Velten [1968] was performed. Changes of success expectancy were rather attributable to the present mood than to the trait-component 'depression'.
