Abstract: | This article proposes a differential sensitivity hypothesis, according to which central and peripheral self-conceptions are differentially influenced by mood: peripheral self-conceptions are subject to a mood- congruency bias, whereas central self-conceptions are unaffected by mood. In 4 experiments, participants were first placed into a sad, neutral , or happy mood state through a guided imagery task and later completed behavior self-descriptiveness ratings, trait self- descriptiveness ratings, and trait self-descriptiveness judgmental latencies. |
