  2. For Mondays: Mood stereotypes were a better predictor of remembered mood than actual moods were
133
Q

Areni and Burger’s (2008) 2nd study found little evidence that mood stereotypes reflect real moods

Explain this further

List 4 points

A
  1. Ps ‘Typical’ (expected) mood reflects cultural stereotypes where people feel best moods on Friday/Saturday and worst moods on Monday
  2. Ps actual moods show much less variation in mood over the week than people expect
  3. There is no real evidence that people’s real moods fit with that expected pattern
    e.g. There’s a very slight trend towards better moods on Fridays and the weekend but there aren’t any high moods on Tuesdays
  4. Ps report feeling their worst on Wednesdays rather than Mondays

Q

Areni and Burger’s (2008) 2nd study found for Mondays, mood stereotypes were a better predictor of remembered mood than actual moods were

Explain this further

List 2 points

A
  1. When looking at memories of their previous moods, people’s beliefs about their mood were stronger predictors of their remembered moods than the ratings of their actual moods were
  2. Suggests that holding an incorrect belief that we tend to feel lowest on certain days of the week can cause us to misremember our previous moods as being worse than they actually are
135
Q

What 2 factors affect out current mood rating?

A
  1. The time that we make the mood rating
  2. Peak-End Theory
136
Q

The time that we make the mood rating influences our current mood rating

Describe Schwartz and Clore’s (1983) study on this

A

Telephone interviews with participants on sunny or rainy days

‘How happy do you feel at this moment? (1-10)

‘How happy do you feel about your life as a whole?’ (1-10)

137
Q

The time that we make the mood rating influences our current mood rating

Describe the results of Schwartz and Clore’s (1983) study on this (List 2 points)

A
  1. Mean levels of mood were higher on sunny days compared to rainy days
  2. Mean levels of global life happiness were higher on sunny days than on rainy days. This suggests global happiness was influenced by current mood (day-to-day fluctuations)
138
Q

Mean levels of global life happiness were higher on sunny days than on rainy days.

What does this suggest?

A

This suggests global happiness was influenced by current mood (day-to-day fluctuations)

139
Q

Peak-End Theory influences our current mood rating

Describe the results of Redelmeier and Kahneman’s (1996) study on this (List 2 points)

A
  1. Patients’ retrospective ratings were strongly influenced by Peak and End experiences
  2. Lower correlations with duration of experiences (‘duration neglect’)

Simply = People’s ratings don’t take sufficient account of how long these 2 periods were; the whole procedure was generally not very painful but there’s one brief moment where it was extremely painful or the final bit was very painful then the overall memory of the pain will be much higher than what they actually experienced (neglect the fact that these painful experiences are quite small and instead focuses on that overall extreme rating or end rating)

Q

Describe Chajut et al.’s (2014) study on the peak-end theory and retrospective pain ratings

List 4 points

A
  1. 324 pregnant women (mean age = 30.4 years) recruited on entering delivery dept
  2. Momentary pain reports every 20 minutes until birth
  3. 0 = No pain at all, 100 = Worst pain imaginable
  4. Retrospective pain ratings (of entire period) taken 2 days/months later
141
Q

Describe the results of Chajut et al.’s (2014) study on the peak-end theory and retrospective pain ratings

A

Average of peak and end pain ratings were stronger predictors of remembered pain ratings than actual average levels of pain experienced

142
Q

Remembered pain ratings

143
Q

144
Q

According to Ganzach & Yaor (2019), there are asymmetries in recall of positive vs negative affect

What are memories of Negative Affects influenced more by?

A

Peak experiences

145
Q

According to Ganzach & Yaor (2019), there are asymmetries in recall of positive vs negative affect

What are memories of Positive Affects influenced more by?

A

End experiences

146
Q

According to Ganzach & Yaor (2019), there are asymmetries in recall of positive vs negative affect

What do end experiences influence?

a. Positive Affects
b. Negative Affects

A

a. Positive Affects

147
Q

According to Ganzach & Yaor (2019), there are asymmetries in recall of positive vs negative affect

What do peak experiences influence?

a. Positive Affects
b. Negative Affects

A

b. Negative Affects

148
Q

Memories of Negative Affects were influenced more by peak experiences

Memories of Positive Affects were influenced more by end experiences

What is the supposed reason behind this?

A

Not clear why but authors believe it has something to do with the greater evolutionary value of negative info which is more likely to be communicating risks of danger therefore might be better attended to and have a greater bias of peak experiences

Q

What are the 3 types of Contemporaneous Mood Assessment?

A
  1. Momentary Mood Assessment
  2. Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA)
  3. Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM)
150

This is known as…?

A

Contemporaneous Mood Assessment

151
Q

What are the 3 advantages of Contemporaneous Mood Assessment?

A
  1. Accurate snapshot of mood state
  2. Free of (memory-related) cognitive biases
  3. Temporal precision
152
Q

What are the 3 disadvantages of Contemporaneous Mood Assessment?

A
  1. A single snapshot only
  • How to know how representative your measure is of a person’s average mood
  1. Interfere with everyday activities
  • Can change mood and introduce a new bias
  1. Tells you nothing about people’s memories of their experiences …

…which influence future behaviour;

… inform our sense of wellbeing;

… and contribute to our sense of who we are
