  1. Mood induction How can researchers induce mood? • Velten-technique: Reading of positive or negative sentences in order to induce a mood • Funny versus sad film clips (or neutral documentaries as control condition) • Joyful versus sad music • Participant has to give a detailed description of a joyful or sad experience from his or her own life • False positive or negative feedback to a test • Little gifts Contributor © POSbase 2003

  2. Mood induction There are overt and covert mood inductions: In overt mood inductions, the participants know that they have to get into a certain mood; in covert mood inductions, participants do not know anything about mood induction. © POSbase 2003

  3. Mood induction The Velten technique is an overt mood induction; participants are told to read positive sentences in order to get into a positive mood or negative sentences in order to get into a negative mood. Music can be used as overt or covert mood induction techniques; it is known that music has a better effect if it is used as overt mood induction. Film clips, describing life events, false feedback and little gifts are normally used as covert mood induction techniques. © POSbase 2003
