Mood as information: Affective cues for cognitive processing styles

The effect of positive and negative induced mood states on cognitive processing style was examined, using the mood as information hypothesis (Clore, Schwarz, & Conway, 1994; Schwarz & Clore, 1983, 1988) as a theoretical framework. Most theories that attempt to explain mood effects see mood as interfering with cognitive processing, but the mood as information hypothesis predicts that task performance may be facilitated by certain moods, depending on the cognitive requisites of the task.
