Abstract
Ss assessed the validity of syllogisms varying in affective loading, quantification, and validity. Syllogisms with existential conclusions resulted in more errors than syllogisms with universal conclusions, and more invalid syllogisms were incorrectly accepted than were valid ones incorrectly rejected. This difference was greatest for existential arguments with positive affect.
