Full textAbstract:
Mood drives our daily life actions. Despite the common thought, it has been showed that a negative affect can have several benefits. This thesis purpose is to induce a negative mood through a videogame to improve the intentions of a more “environmental-friendly behavior”. The game is a simulation of a possible daily-life situation in which the player from its house has to reach its working place. What the player will soon understand during the game is that every action has a consequence that has an impact on the environment around him/her. To study the mood of the participants two questionnaires have been used before and after the videogame: one to catch the immediate and less thought feeling and one in which the participants have to describe their mood in more details. Gathered data have been approached both in a qualitative and quantitative way to catch every shade of participants’ mood. Results showed how the negative mood induced by the game improve the awareness and intentions of participants toward the environment problems.

Full textAbstract:
Bariatric surgery is a life-altering procedure that leads to substantial weight loss for most patients with obesity. Psychiatric conditions that may interfere with eating behavior and other behavioral prescriptions after surgery are common. Disordered eating is an established risk factor for inferior weight loss but the effects of negative mood and impulsivity are largely unknown. This thesis aims to investigate the prevalence of and associations between these potential risk factors and eating behavior in bariatric surgery patients. Study I assessed the prevalence of adult Attention Deficits/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in bariatric surgery patients. Symptoms of adult ADHD were elevated compared to the normal population and associated with symptoms of disordered eating, anxiety, and depression. Study II investigated whether treatment with Behavioral Activation (BA) could ameliorate binge eating and other symptoms of disordered eating in patients with obesity and Binge Eating Disorder. The results showed that BA was effective in increasing activity levels and improving mood but not in ameliorating binge eating in these patients. Study III was a prospective study on disordered eating, symptoms of depression and anxiety, symptoms of adult ADHD, and alcohol risk consumption before surgery and at follow-up after 12 months. After controlling for age, no variable measured before surgery could predict weight loss after surgery. Disordered eating after surgery was associated with inferior weight loss in men and a subgroup of older female participants. The present thesis concludes that symptoms of adult ADHD are common among bariatric surgery patients and associated with disordered eating. There is no indication that symptoms of adult ADHD are associated with short-term inferior weight loss after surgery. However, adult ADHD may be a risk factor for postsurgical alcohol abuse. The treatment study showed no direct association among activity, mood, and binge eating. BA, while effective in improving mood, was found not to be an effective treatment for BED, at least in the short group format investigated.

Empati är en grundförutsättning för människors interaktion, kommunikation och förståelse för varandra. Forskning har visat att individer med depression och olika personlighetsstörningar har en tendens till nedsatt empati. I en enkätstudie med 205 deltagare, varav 162 kvinnor, undersöktes om sinnesstämning har ett samband med empati. Deltagarna försattes i en sinnesstämning, de fick tänka på positiva eller negativa händelse. Sedan läsa en negativt riktad vinjett om en gripande händelse. Sinnesstämning mättes med The Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS) och empati med hjälp av Batsons empatiskala. Studien avser att fylla luckan som finns om sinnesstämning och empati hos människor i allmänhet. Manipulationen gav inget signifikant resultat. Resultatet visar dock ett positivt samband mellan sinnesstämning och empati från självskattningsskalorna. Deltagarna med positiv sinnesstämning rapporterade mer empati. Kvinnor kände mer empati är män och de äldre mer än yngre. Studien relaterar till att högre välmående hos individer kan skapa mer empati i samhället.

Full textAbstract:
Autobiographical memory has been theorized to serve as an adaptive function in coping with negative mood state. To gain a better understanding of whether autobiographical memory changes with negative mood state, a number of experiments examined the relative accessibility of cognitive content and ability to recall specific event memories in those who had a previous history of depression or showed some aspects of current depressive symptoms. Five separate studies involved 288 participants and examined the effects of negative mood components on autobiographical recall. Studies 1 – 4 examined the autobiographical content by cueing content using a cue word technique to evoke autobiographical memories by means of a modified version of the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT; Williams & Broadbent, 1986). Negative mood state was induced by Velten mood induction technique, and self-reported mood was measured using University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology Mood Adjective Checklist (UWIST-MACL; Matthews, Jones & Chamberlain, 1990) before and after mood induction. The ability to recall specific event memories was measured in Study 5 by the Sentence Completion for Events from the Past Test (SCEPT; Raes, Hermans, Williams, & Eelen, 2007). The results indicate that negative mood does influence autobiographical recall in terms of content and memory. These results indicate that autobiographical memory is a phenomenon that is in part dependent on negative mood state and in part dependent on current depressive symptoms and history of depression. Increased rumination was particularly responsive to induced negative mood state in those with current depressive symptoms. Reduced levels of activity, alertness, loss of interest and diminished pleasure are aspects of negative mood that seem to be particularly important components of mood state at the time of recall. To gain further insights into mood state effects in autobiographical recall, future directions in mood research should focus on and differentiate between the separate mood state components that are more important in bringing about changes in recalled content, especially in those with either a history of depression or showing current depressive symptoms.

Hudson, Cristina Keiko. "An Investigation of Negative Appraisals Due to Negative Mood and How They Affect Satisfaction and Job Performance." Scholar Commons, 2012. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4334.
Full textAbstract:
Ample research has investigated the relationship between non-work and work domains finding consistent links between stressors in one and strains in the other. Additionally, there exist explanatory models of these associations such as psychological/physical sickness and related absences and loss or fear of losing personal resources. The current investigation combined variables from the spillover model and Affective Events Theory to test a new model with negative mood at its core. It hypothesized marital and financial stressors lead to negative mood at home which spills over into the work domain resulting in relatively more negative appraisals of work events. Negative mood at work is a likely outcome, which in turn causes subsequent decreases in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and job satisfaction and increases in counterproductive work behavior (CWB). Finally, the model proposed social support as a moderator buffering against the detriments of negative mood from home. Although structural equation modeling found the proposed model to be incorrect and to suffer from a large degree of misfit, examination of individual parameter estimates warranted the testing of two alternative models. Model 3 presented the best fit and most variance accounted for by omitting OCB and using direct paths from social support to all work variables (rather than the proposed moderating effect) and direct carryover of mood at home to mood at work. The majority of the paths tested in the model reasonably explained the data, although some variance remained unaccounted for. Results of model testing were also supported by significant correlations in the predicted direction between stressors and mood at home; mood at home and appraisals of work events; appraisals of work events and mood at work; and mood at work with job satisfaction and CWB. These results draw attention to the important role played by the individual's mood in the interplay between the work and non-work domains.

Björn, Inger. "Hormone replacement therapy and effects on mood." Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Obstetrik och gynekologi, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-94115.
Full textAbstract:
Background: During the past 5 decades, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been used, and appreciated for its beneficial effects, by millions of women in their menopause. As treatment for climacteric symptoms, estrogen is outstanding, and effects on hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and insomnia have been widely documented. The increased risks of venous thrombosis and breast cancer, however, restrict the use of estrogen. Estrogen treatment in women with a remaining uterus includes a progestin, added to protect the endometrium from hyperplasia and malignancies. The long-standing clinical impression, that progestin addition negatively influences mood, has been discussed in previous studies. Mood deterioration is, however, not mortal, although mood is important to the wellbeing and daily functioning of women treated with hormones. Studies of the mental side effects of HRT add to our understanding of steroid effects in the brain. Aims and methods: In our studies, we aimed to establish to what extent negative side effects cause women to discontinue HRT, and find out which drug compounds lead to mood deterioration. The questions asked were whether the type and dose of progestin and the estrogen dose during the progestin addition influence the mood and physical symptoms during sequential HRT. Compliance with HRT and reasons for discontinuing the therapy were evaluated in a retrospective longitudinal follow-up study. Treatment effects were studied in three randomized, double-blind, cross-over trials. During continuous estrogen treatment, effects of sequential addition of a progestin were studied by comparing two different progestins, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) andnorethisterone acetate (NETA), comparing different doses of the same progestin, MPA, and comparing two doses of estrogen during addition of the same dose of MPA. The main outcome measure was the daily rating on mood and physical symptoms kept by the participants throughout the studies. The clinical trials were carried out at three gynecological centers in northern Sweden. Results and conclusions: Besides fear of cancer and a wish to determine whether climacteric symptoms had meanwhile disappeared, negative side effects was the most common reason or discontinuing HRT. Tension in the breasts, weight gain, a depressed mood, abdominal bloating, and irritability were the most important side effects seen both in women who continued HRT and in women who had discontinued the therapy. In our clinical trials, we showed that addition of a progestin to estrogen treatment induces cyclic mood swings characterized by tension, irritability, and depression, as well as increased breast tension, bloatedness, and hot flushes. Women with a history of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) appeared to be more sensitive to the progestin addition and responded with lower mood scores compared with women without previous PMS. In our studies, MPA provoked depressed mood to a lesser extent than did NETA. Surprisingly, the higher dose of MPA (20 mg) enhanced the mood, compared with 10 mg, when added to estrogen treatment. In women continuously treated with 3 mg estradiol, mood and physical symptoms worsened during the progestin addition, as compared with treatment with 2 mg estradiol. The negative side effects seen during sequential HRT have much in common with symptoms seen in the premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a psychoneuroendocrine disorder with psychiatric expression. Explanations for treatment effects on mood are likely to be found in drug interactions with neurotransmitter systems of the brain.Diss. (sammanfattning) Umeå : Umeå universitet, 2003

Full textAbstract:
Animal research suggests that exposure to inescapable stressors can lead to an endogenous opioid-mediated form of pain inhibition, known as stress-induced analgesia (SIA). Similar results have been found with humans, although the literature is much less extensive and at times contradictory where uncontrollable stressors have led to an increase, rather than a decrease in pain. More recently, there has been some suggestion that emotions play an important role in pain modulation, and that particular negative moods are associated with opioid-mediated hypoalgesia. This research aimed to clarify the psychological (cognitive and affective) factors underlying endogenous opioid-mediated pain inhibition in humans.
The purpose of Study 1 was to examine the effects of stressor controllability and predictability on pain intensity (PI) and unpleasantness (UP) ratings during a cold pressor task (CPT) in 56 male and female subjects. The stressor involved a timed mental arithmetic task during which three moderately noxious electrical shocks were delivered. Although subjects were informed that shock delivery was contingent on math performance, the shock schedule was preset and identical across conditions. Perceived control over the shocks was manipulated between subjects by altering the difficulty of the math task. Shock predictability was manipulated by changing the colour of the computer screen to warn of an impending shock. Subjects were randomly allocated to four experimental conditions (controllable-predictable, controllable-unpredictable, uncontrollable-predictable, and uncontrollable-unpredictable shocks). Visual analogue ratings of perceived self-efficacy (to avoid the shocks) and mood (anxiety, confusion, discouragement, anger, sluggishness, liveliness) were completed before, during and after the math task. Significantly greater discouragement and lower self-efficacy was reported in uncontrollable conditions indicating that controllability was manipulated effectively. Results indicated that a perceived lack of control over shocks during the math task led to significantly greater decreases in PI, but not UP, ratings during the last stages of a 4-minute fixed interval CPT after the math task. Shock predictability failed to influence subjective pain ratings alone; however, unpredictability interacted with lack of control to initially increase pain, followed by analgesia. Stress-induced increases in negative affect (anxiety, discouragement, anger) were associated with decreases in cold pressor PI, but with increased shock PI and UP during the math task. It was concluded that lack of control over an aversive event and negative affect led to SIA during a prolonged pain stimulus, whereas shock predictability had little influence
on pain.
In Study 2, 70 male and female subjects received either an opioid antagonist (naltrexone) or a placebo before the math task (using a double-blind, counterbalanced design), in order to determine the role of endogenous opioids in SIA. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions to investigate whether the shocks themselves may have contributed to analgesia observed after the math task: (1) easy task-few shocks, (2) hard task-few shocks,
(3) hard task-many shocks. Increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), anxiety, anger and discouragement indicated that negative affect and sympathetic arousal were induced during the math task. Endogenous opioids inhibited the rise in anger, but not discouragement or anxiety, during the math task. There was some evidence that perceived lack of control over shocks, and not the shocks themselves, led to opioid-mediated decreases in cold pressor UP after the math task. In correlational analyses, discouraged subjects under opioid blockade reported more cold pressor UP after the math task than their placebo counterparts. However, this effect was not strong enough to reach statistical significance in regression analyses. Anxiety, anger, discouragement and lack of control over shocks increased shock PI and UP during the math task.
A growing body of research with normotensive subjects has linked increased cardiovascular activity with insensitivity to pain, but the role of endogenous opioids remains contentious. In addition to the investigations outlined above, Study 2 aimed to examine the contribution of endogenous opioids in the cardiovascular-pain relationship. However, there was no evidence of an interaction between pain and cardiovascular activity in this study.
Study 3 was carried out to investigate opioid involvement in the effects of an uncontrollable stressor and stress-induced negative mood on cold pressor PI, UP and pain tolerance, and onset/thresholds of the nociceptive flexion reflex (RIII). Forty-three male and female subjects were administered either naltrexone or a placebo using a double-blind, counterbalanced design before completing a timed mental arithmetic stressor (identical to the hard task-many shocks condition in Study 2). Increases in physiological (SBP, DBP) and affective measures (anxiety, anger and discouragement) indicated that the math task induced a marked state of stress. Negative affect increased shock PI and UP during the task, whereas self-efficacious subjects taking the placebo experienced less shock pain. However, uncontrollable stress led to an opioid-antagonised increase in cold pressor UP. Stressor controllability had a similar, but marginal, effect on cold pressor PI, but not pain tolerance. Tolerance of cold pressor pain was not associated with subjective PI and UP ratings, but was positively associated with endurance to non-painful, but unpleasant tasks (Valsalva Manoeuvre, Letter-Symbol Matching Task), indicating that pain tolerance was measuring the ability to tolerate discomfort, in addition to pain. Results of hierarchical multiple regressions demonstrated that increases in discouragement were positively related to increases in cold pressor UP after the math task, for naltrexone recipients only. These findings suggest that discouragement inhibits the UP of a prolonged pain stimulus via opioid mechanisms. RIII latencies and thresholds were not affected by the math task or by opioid blockade; however, these null effects may be due to methodological limitations. Unlike Study 2, higher blood pressure was associated with shock and cold pressor pain inhibition in normotensive subjects, and this relationship appeared to be mediated by opioids.
The strong association between chronic pain and depression has led to speculation that the endogenous opioid system and pain modulatory mechanisms may be impaired in depression. At the time that this research was carried out, no studies had examined whether this was the case. In Study 4, the effect of a cognitive stressor (math task used in Study 3) on foot cold pressor PI, UP and pain tolerance and the nociceptive, or R2 component, of the blink reflex was investigated in 61 participants with or without major depression (as met by DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and confirmed by psychometric testing). Naltrexone or placebo was administered to subjects an hour before the math task using a double-blind, counterbalanced design. Increases in physiological (SBP, DBP) and affective measures (anxiety, anger and discouragement) confirmed that the math task induced the targeted emotional state. An opioid-mediated reduction in anxiety occurred mid-way through the math task. Opioid-mediated decreases in foot cold pressor PI and UP were observed in depressed and non-depressed subjects after the math task. R2 onset to 10 mA was facilitated after the task regardless of opioid blockade, suggesting that endogenous opioids are not involved in the modulation of the BR. Increased anxiety and discouragement led to opioid-mediated inhibition of shock PI and UP during the task and, to a lesser extent, foot cold pressor PI and UP after the math task. Anger increased shock pain without being influenced by opioid blockade. Pain tolerance was not influenced by depression, opioid blockade or mood. These findings failed to support the idea that SIA is impaired in major depression, suggesting instead that uncontrollable aversive events and negative mood (anxiety, discouragement) lead to opioid activation and insensitivity to acute pain. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the inverse relationship between resting blood pressure and foot cold pressor PI and UP was opioid-mediated in controls only, suggesting that opioid dysregulation in depression might influence regulatory functions other than SIA.
In Study 4, opioid involvement in hetero-segmental pain inhibitory phenomena termed diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC) was examined separately, before psychological stress. Specifically, the effect of a heterotopic noxious conditioning stimulus (CS i.e., hand CPT) on R2 onset latency was compared before and after drug absorption (before the math task). An inhibitory effect of the first CS was detected at each electrical stimulus intensity consistent with a DNIC effect. However, this effect was not detected during the second CS, suggesting that some other process masked the DNIC effect.
In summary, the findings indicate that uncontrollable aversive events and negative emotion (primarily discouragement) activates endogenous opioids and inhibits pain in human subjects, whether depressed or not. Notably, opioids inhibited the affective component of pain perception, or pain UP, more consistently than PI, suggesting that the antinociceptive function of opioids may be secondary to an important emotional-modulatory role. Endogenous opioids also appeared to mediate the cardiovascular-pain relationship in normotensive non-depressed subjects, suggesting an important stress-regulatory role for these peptides. Opioid-mediated masking of this relationship in major depression suggests that functioning of the endogenous opioid system may be impaired in baroreceptor-mediated analgesia. This finding provides preliminary support for the notion that opioid antinociceptive system dysfunction may contribute to cardiovascular disease in depression.

Meeten, Frances Mary. "Mood-as-input theory and specifc negative meeds for perseverative checking and worrying." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2010. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/2487/.
Full textAbstract:
The mood-as-input hypothesis predicts that perseveration at an open-ended task is determined by “stop rules” for the task and by the valency of the mood. Stop rules define a person's goals in task attainment, e.g. stopping after doing as much as they can, or stopping when they no longer feel like continuing. This thesis will examine the combined effects of stop rules and specific negative moods (sadness, anxiety, anger) on perseverative worrying and checking tasks, and the influence of specific negative moods on personal performance standards. The final study explores the impact of experimentally induced mood on a worry task when the mood source is made highly salient i.e. attributed to an obvious event or source. On a perseverative checking task, different negative mood and stop rule combinations were found not to affect participant performance. However, using a personally-relevant worry task, participants in each specific negative mood condition persevered for longer using an “as many as can” rule compared with those using a “feel like continuing” rule. The opposite was found for participants in a happy mood. The effects of sadness and anxiety on personal performance standards and stop rule preference were also examined. Findings suggest a positive relationship between sad and anxious moods and “as many as can” stop rule preference. An attempt to manipulate mood attribution after inducing an angry mood showed marginally significant differences in attribution by the high and low manipulation groups, but no effects of mood attribution on task performance. These findings suggest that with a catastrophic worry task, participants in each specific negative mood condition using an “as many as can” stop rule persevered for longer compared with those using a “feel like continuing” stop rule. The implications of this work are discussed in relation to mood-as-input accounts of perseveration and models of mood.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the nature of food craving and to examine the relationship between perimenstrual negative mood and food craving. It also aimed to examine the effect of intake of craved foods on mood and to assess the likely causes for any mood change observed. A retrospective questionnaire study including data from over 750 subjects assessed the qualitative experience of food craving, its relationship to negative mood and its link with psychosocial factors known to influence both eating behaviour and reporting of perimenstrual negative mood. In contrast to the link between perimenstrual mood change and past and present emotional state, food craving was unrelated to these variables. Neither was it associated with body mass index, satisfaction with body image or eating restraint. Significant relationships were observed only with measures of emotional eating and with reporting of perimenstrual negative mood and physical discomfort. Qualitative analysis of food craving suggested intake of craved foods, 90% of which were reported to be for carbohydrate-rich foods, to produce transient improvement in mood which appeared linked to the taste of craved foods. In conclusion, these findings support the previously suggested link between negative mood and food craving and confirm cravings to be for carbohydrate-rich, fat-rich, protein-poor foods. The effect on mood following satisfaction of a craving however appears primarily linked to sensory pleasure rather than to biological changes in serotonergic functioning. Instead of reflecting an attempt to counteract reduced serotonergic activity, carbohydrate craving may simply reflect the propensity to comfort eat in response to emotional and physical discomfort. These conclusions are discussed with reference to the therapeutic effects of antidepressants on premenstrual symptomatology.

Full textAbstract:
The extent to which motivational mechanisms contribute to reward seeking processes is crucial to our understanding of certain abnormal behaviours, including addiction. Pavlovian conditioning endows reward-associated stimuli with the ability to modulate goal-directed actions for that same reward (Pavlovian-to-Instrumental transfer; PIT). Learning and motivational theories attempt to describe the processes by which stimuli in the environment acquire incentive properties, attract attention and drive reward-seeking behaviours and bear many resemblances, but there are also important differences. This thesis uses a general PIT model in humans to further our understanding of these discrepancies and investigates the effect mood has on these processes. Firstly, altering the value of the reward affected the rigor of instrumental performance, but the same changes in outcome value did not affect the expectancy of, attention to, or emotional reactivity to the cues suggesting that in Pavlovian learning, apart from the nature of outcomes, the value of outcomes is encoded such that changes in outcome value prevent transfer of a Pavlovian cue's incentive properties to alter goal-directed action. Secondly, the further papers assess the extent to which mood modulates this same action. When under negative mood a general reduction in motivation, driven by an attenuated sensitivity to the reward was observed, as well as a dissociation between aversive and appetitive outcomes. The remaining study explored whether mood altered Pavlovian learning and revealed that those under state negative mood take longer to express their knowledge explicitly and that those under positive mood showed altered attention and emotional responses towards the same stimuli. The approach used in this thesis shows the merits of both motivational and learning theories, and further demonstrates the link between mood and motivation. Additionally, a dissociation between punishment and reward prediction when under negative mood was demonstrated and builds upon this important distinction.

Full textAbstract:
Perinatal depression is widespread and disabling with a number of negative consequences for the mother, father and child. Prenatal depression, stress and anxiety and a history of depression are significant predictors of perinatal depression suggesting a need for preventative interventions. Helpful psychological interventions for this period are currently scarce and expensive and research examining preventative interventions is lacking. Preliminary evidence suggests that generic and pregnancy-tailored mindfulness courses can reduce stress, anxiety and depression in this population. Because, more broadly, access to mindfulness courses is inequitable, research has begun to focus on the possibility of delivering such courses online, resulting in potentially beneficial courses becoming available with a reduction in cost to the participant and health service. The aim of this doctorate was to conduct a series of sequenced studies culminating in an overall evaluation of mindfulness courses for expectant mothers. In cross-sectional analyses, higher levels of dispositional mindfulness were associated with healthier mood levels suggesting that increasing mindfulness in this population (via a course) may be beneficial. A preliminary evaluation of a face-to-face mindfulness-based course for childbirth and parenting showed promising results for prospective mothers and fathers and further research would be useful. An online mindfulness course delivered to expectant mothers improved prenatal mood compared to a waitlist control group but there was a high level of drop-out for course completers. This high attrition rate, though often noted in internet intervention research, is concerning and warrants further investigation. More generally, mindfulness courses for expectant parents show potential and future work would benefit from larger samples and control group comparisons.

Full textAbstract:
Alcohol is ranked as the third highest burden of disease worldwide and the eighth highest leading cause of death. An estimated 19.5% of Australians consume alcohol in quantities that place them at risk of alcohol-related injury or disease over their lifetime. Alcohol misuse is also highly problematic, being associated with a range of negative physical, psychological and social consequences. While treatments are effective in helping people to achieve reductions, relapse rates are high, with up to 80% of treated alcohol users eventually relapsing. The ability to identify which treatment seekers may be at greater risk for relapse would enable appropriate tailoring of interventions and planning of aftercare. Craving has been widely studied as a potential predictor of relapse, but has performed inconsistently. The effect of comorbid depression on craving’s predictive performance however, has been largely neglected, despite demonstrated associations between negative affect and craving, and between negative affect and substance use. The aim of this thesis was to explore the performance of craving as a predictor of posttreatment alcohol use outcomes in the presence of comorbid depressed mood, under the hypothesis that presence of negative affect would augment effects of craving, strengthening its predictive power and increasing vulnerability to post-treatment relapse. Two studies were conducted, one with a sample of drinkers with comorbid depression, and the other with a sample of drinkers with a range of depression severity.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic exercise on the frequency and intensity of positive and negative affect in Chinese students and to examine the effects of chronic exercise on indicators of fatigue and health. No differences in maximal oxygen uptake between groups or across time were observed. Significantly higher heart rates were noted as a function of participation in the exercise program. Positive affect increased for the male exercise group from Pre-training to Post-training while the female exercise group did not significantly increase over time periods. Positive affect of the control group remained stable throughout. Negative affect in males and females in the control group did not change over time. In the exercise group the females' negative affect decreased from Pre-training to Post-training while the males did not significantly decrease from Pre-training to Post-training. The men and women in the exercise group reported significantly greater daily indicators of fatigue than the control group of subjects. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Event-based prospective memory (PM) is a complex process in which memory and attentional resources are engaged to perform a delayed intention after a cue is recognised in the environment. Event-based PM is a functional skill that can influence outcomes such as treatment adherence. Evidence is mixed as to whether negative mood impairs or improves event-based PM performance. Processing requirements of the event-based PM tasks, which determine whether effortful monitoring is required for success, might explain inconsistent findings. High scores on state anxiety scales have been correlated with poor event-based PM consistently, however no studies have investigated whether this relationship is causal. This thesis aimed to clarify the effect of negative mood on event-based PM and investigate the causal effect of state anxiety on event-based PM by investigating how task factors such as working memory (WM) load and attentional demands interacted with induced negative mood or state anxiety to influence event-based PM performance. These aims were achieved through a systematic review of past research which informed empirical investigations of how negative mood or state anxiety, induced by an autobiographical event induction in Study 1 or a film clip induction in Study 2, interacted with WM capacity to influence event-based PM. Subsequently, an investigation of whether negative mood interacted with the attentional demands of an event-based PM task to influence performance was conducted in Study 3. Negative mood impaired processing speed on the PM task under conditions of low, but not high, WM load. State anxiety did not interact with WM load and negative mood did not interact with the attentional demands of the PM task to influence event-based PM. Findings were interpreted in light of theories explaining the cognitive processes that support event-based PM and theories accounting for the effects of negative mood and state anxiety on cognitive processing generally.

Full textAbstract:
Research suggests that older adults have enhanced emotional outcomes and use different emotion regulation strategies (e.g., more distraction and positive reappraisal) relative to young adults. The present study investigated the mood and memory-related effects of these strategies in young and older adults. Participants watched a sad film clip while being instructed to use specific emotion regulation strategies (i.e., avoiding negativity, focusing on positivity, focusing on negativity, or no instructions). Young adults who were instructed to avoid focusing on negativity showed better mood outcomes and more positive memory for the film compared to non-instructed young adults. Instructions to down-regulate emotions did not affect older adults, possibly because they used such strategies spontaneously. Older adults increased dispositional tendency to focus on positive stimuli in their everyday lives partially explained older adults greater mood improvement. The results have implications for the effectiveness of particular emotion regulation strategies and for the generalizability of the positivity effect.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Ce ShenA compelling body of literature suggests that negative appraisal may be associated with adverse reactions to traumatic stress (Ehlers & Clark, 2000). However, very few studies have examined how cognitive appraisal influences posttraumatic adaptation in people with serious mental illness (SMI) despite evidence of disproportionately high prevalence rates of trauma exposure and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in this population. The major purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between negative appraisal and PTSD symptoms among adults diagnosed with SMI. It was hypothesized that negative appraisal would have a positive and significant association with traumatic stress symptoms in a clinical sample of community clients diagnosed with major mood and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders when controlling for gender, total lifetime trauma, substance use, and severity of symptoms associated with SMI. Multiple regression was employed to conduct a secondary analysis of clinical data from 291 community support clients who were receiving services from three community mental health centers in the state of Rhode Island during March to September 2009. Results supported the main hypotheses that all three types of negative appraisal with respect to self, world /others, and self blame as well as overall appraisal were positively and significantly associated with PTSD symptoms

Full textAbstract:
Current research on organizational stress suggests a relationship between stressors, and psychological and psychosomatic health outcomes. The strength of this relationship varies between 0.17 and 0.35. Research has also suggested that personal relationships may moderate these correlations. One such variable is thought to be social support. This study set out to examine the relationship between social support in the workplace and organizational stressors while at the same time controlling for variables that may obscure the true nature of the relationship. Taking measurements while still seniors in college (Time one) and shortly after they were employed (Time two) allowed this control to be accomplished in a longitudinal setting. This study evaluated the nature of these relationships among new employees in a variety of organizations. The personality variable negative affectivity (NA) was measured at time one and at time two. In addition, reported psychosomatic outcomes were measured at time one and at time two. The interval between time one and time two was 12 - 15 months. Organizational stressors, NA, strains, and transient mood were measured at time two. The results indicated that after controlling for mood and NA, supervisory social support was negatively related to stressors and strains. Coworker social support demonstrated a significant affective/emotional component. When both mood scales and NA were partialled out many of the corrleations dropped below significance. Results for the NA construct variable specifically suggested that it did not appear to be a major underlying explanatory variable. Future research directions are discussed.

Heuristic estimates of probabilities may be an obstacle to decision making within High Reliability Organizations. Accident reports have found that two from each other separate phenomenon, Blame Culture and Type 1 processing constitutes a particularily serious threat to decision making. The present study (N = 70) investigated if a perceived risk of negative feedback and cognitive load would lead to more heuristic estimates on the Conjunction Fallacy. Three experiment conditions were included in the study: Negative feedback, cognitive load and control. The results were non-significant for both negative feedback and cognitive load. Furthermore, the estimated negative affect was higher when violations to the Conjunction Rule was made. Previous studies showing that high scores on the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) indicate less sensitivity to conjunction fallacies, were replicated. The present study concluded that the CRT may be a strong predictor of the Conjunction Fallacy.

Hypotesen var att vi uppskattar vår livstillfredsställelse olika högt beroende på om vi exponeras för negativ eller positiv infomation. Satisfaction With Life Scale delades ut till 50 studenter på en högskola efter exponering av negativ respektive positiv information under en föreläsning. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon statistiskt signifikant skillnad mellan negativ och positiv information med avseende på livstillfredsställelse. Avsaknaden av skillnad skulle dock exempelvis kunna bero på en för svag exponering av negativ information. Keywords: life satisfaction, happiness, subjective well-being, current mood

Creating, producing and listening to podcasts has become an increasingly popular way for cultural transmission. Among an infinitely number of genres true crime has been rising in popularity during the last decade. By consuming true crime- podcasts we also affirm the relevance of the cultural exchange. The aim of this study is therefore to examine what this contemporary cultural exchange consists and in what way the transmission affect the actors. The study was implemented by interviewing creators of true crime- podcasts as well as women consuming numerous podcasts within the genre. By applying Bourdieus theoretical concepts combined with Boltanski and Thevenots theory about orders of worth in the analyses of the empirical material we can acquire a profound understanding of individual practices as well as how they legitimize their actions. From the comprehensive material generated from the interviews we found some distinctive results. First, the creators aim to educade, inform and engender a reflective practice within the consumers. The podcastconsumers assigned that they are listening to true crime- podcast in the purpose of entertainment and the acquisition of information. Also, they keep listening although many of them have experienced feelings of fear and have become more cautious towards their surroundings. The cultural exchange that takes place within the podcast is the creation of meaning and reflection itself.

Com a presente pesquisa objetivou-se levantar e avaliar, comparativamente, o ambiente térmico no interior de dois aviários de postura verticais. As tipologias representativas da avicultura industrial do Brasil em sistemas intensivos de produção avaliadas foram: ventilados naturalmente e com sistemas de ventilação por pressão negativa em modo túnel. Esta pesquisa foi realizada em granja comercial, situada no município de Pouso Alto - Minas Gerais, localizado na Serra da Mantiqueira. Os galpões eram constituídos por cinco alas de gaiolas com seis níveis de altura cada, o que permite o alojamento de até 100 mil aves. No interior de cada aviário estudado, foram utilizados sessenta sensores de temperatura e vinte sensores de umidade relativa do ar, os quais foram distribuídos nos corredores entre as baterias de gaiolas e nas laterais de forma uniforme e equidistante ao longo do comprimento do galpão em dois níveis de altura. Um sensor de umidade relativa e um sensor de temperatura foram instalados no interior de um abrigo meteorológico, nas proximidades dos galpões, a fim de monitorar as condições ambientais externas. A tese foi organizada em capítulos, assim distribuídos: Capítulo 1: Sistemas arquitetônicos ambientais para produção de ovos no brasil - Revisão bibliográfica; Capitulo 2: Caracterização espacial do ambiente térmico de aviários de postura verticais, abertos e submetidos a ventilação natural; Capitulo 3: Caracterização espacial do ambiente térmico em aviários de postura verticais, fechados e climatizados via ventilação por pressão negativa em modo túnel; Capitulo 4: Avaliação comparativa do ambiente térmico do aviário de postura vertical submetido a ventilação natural e aviário de postura vertical submetido a ventilação por pressão negativa no modo túnel. Observou-se por meio de análises realizadas que a utilização do aviário submetido à ventilação no modo túnel acarreta uma temperatura média e umidade relativa do ar média no interior da instalação com menor amplitude ao longo do tempo. Porém esta instalação apresenta gradiente longitudinal de temperatura elevado. Com exceção das gaiolas posicionadas próximas as faces leste e oeste do aviário ventilado naturalmente, as demais gaiolas apresentaram valores de temperatura com diferença significativa, de aproximadamente 2°C, em relação à temperatura aferida pelo sensor localizado no corredor próximo a gaiola monitorada. Em relação à umidade relativa do ar aferidos no interior das gaiolas, todos os valores apresentaram diferença significativa, quando comparados aos valores coletados nos corredores do aviário, os quais apresentaram valores maiores de umidade relativa do ar. Em relação à posição ideal de alocação dos sensores de temperatura e umidade nos aviários, tem-se que para o aviário submetido à ventilação natural; as posições centrais no nível inferior são indicados para a alocação de sensores de temperatura no interior da instalação e as posições próximas a face leste ao sul e a face oeste ao norte são indicados para melhor alocação de sensores de umidade relativa do ar no interior da instalação. Já, para o aviário submetido à ventilação por pressão negativa no modo túnel, a posição central do nível inferior e as centrais próximas à face sul são aquelas indicadas para a melhor alocação de sensores de temperatura no interior da instalação. Ao passo que para a alocação de sensores de umidade relativa do ar, as posições centrais laterais são aquelas indicadas.
This study aimed to raise and evaluate comparatively the thermal environment inside two different barns equipped by two environment conditioning systems, in vertical system: a) open facilities with natural ventilation, and b) closed facilities mechanically ventilated subjected to negative pressure in tunnel mode and with evaporative cooling. This research was carried out on a commercial farm, located in the Pouso Alegre city - Minas Gerais, located the Serra da Mantiqueira. The sheds were comprised of five rows of cages and six levels height each, which allows housing of up to 100 thousand birds. Within each facility were used sixty temperature sensors and twenty humidity sensors distributed in the halls between the battery cages and in the sides uniformly and equidistantly along the shed length at two levels height. One humidity sensor and one temperature sensor were installed inside a weather shelter, near the facilities to monitor the external environmental conditions. The thesis is organized into chapters as follows: Chapter 1: Environmental Architectural Systems for egg production in Brazil - Review; Chapter 2: Characterization of the thermal environment in open facilities with natural ventilation, in vertical systems; Chapter 3: Temperature characterization in closed facilities mechanically ventilated subjected to negative pressure in tunnel mode; Chapter 4: Comparison of the thermal environment of the open facilities with natural ventilation and closed facilities mechanically ventilated subjected to negative pressure in tunnel mode. It was observed that use of closed facilities mechanically ventilated subjected to negative pressure in tunnel mode leads the average temperature and relative humidity inside the sheds with lower amplitude over time. However, this installation presents longitudinal gradient high temperature. Except for the cages placed near the east and west, sides of the barn ventilated naturally, the other cages presented temperatures significant difference about 2°C compared to temperature measured by the sensor located in the hallway next to monitored cage. Regarding the relative humidity measured inside the cages, all values showed significant difference when compared to the values checked in the hallway, which had higher humidity. About the ideal position to allocated temperature and humidity sensors in the sheds, it was observed that for open facility with natural ventilation; the central position on the lower level is indicated for the temperature sensors and the nearby positions east face to south and west face to north are better to moisture sensors. For the closed facilities mechanically ventilated subjected to negative pressure in tunnel mode, the central position of the lower level and the central position near the south face are those given to allocate the temperature sensors. While for allocation of relative humidity, sensors are the side central positions.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among adolescent’s depressed mood, attachment style and negative mood regulation ability. By using stratified cluster sampling, a total of 2,101 were chosen from junior and senior high schools students in the northern, central, southern and eastern regions of Taiwan. In the present study data were collected through a survey method. Instruments including Adolescent’s Depressed Scale, Attachment Style Scale and Negative Mood Regulation Scale were used. Data obtained in this study were analyzed by Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA and regression analysis. Main findings of this research were as follows:1.different of background factor have differ significantly in adolescent’s depressed mood. 2. adolescent’s depressed mood and security attachment have significantly negative relationship; and insecurity attachment have significantly positive relationship; and negative mood regulation ability have significantly negative relationship. Then security attachment and negative mood regulation ability have significantly positive relationship; insecurity attachment and negative mood regulation ability have significantly negative relationship. 3.attachment style and negative mood regulation ability did not significantly correlation in adolescent’s depressed mood. but, attachment style have differ significantly in adolescent’s depressed mood, and anxious-conflict attachment were reported higher levels of depressed mood. negative mood regulation ability have differ significantly in adolescent’s depressed mood, and lack negative mood regulation ability were reported higher levels of depressed mood. 4. According to regression analysis result that attachment style more than negative mood regulation ability can significantly predicted adolescent’s depressed mood. Suggestions and implications of the results were discussed for parents, guidance people as well as for future studies.
