Abstract

This study examines the effect of mood on emotion recognition and the relationship of mood, emotion recognition and information processing styles. This study hypothesized that a positive mood promotes a global processing style, associated with more efficient emotion recognition.In this study, subjects’ eye movements were analyzed to measure global versus local processing styles. The results suggest that people in a positive mood recognize happiness expression more slowly than those in a neutral mood. Participants’ processing styles were not related to emotion recognition speed. The findings clarify mechanisms of efficient emotion recognition.
