Attentional effects on mood are moderated by chronic self-conception valence
Attentional effects on mood are moderated by chronic self-conception valence
under either self-focused attention or other-focused attention
conditions. Self-focused attention was partially induced by in
structing subjects to write a story about themselves, whereas other
focused attention was partially elicited by instructing subjects to
write a story about an acquaintance. Attentional effects on mood
were moderated by the valence of subjects' chronic self
conceptions. Under self-focused attention conditions, positive self
conception subjects reported feeling happier than negative self
conception subjects. However under other focused attention
conditions, positive and negative self conception subjects did not
differ in their reported mood. Supplementary analyses ruled out
the possibility that the relation obtained between self conception
valence and mood was mediated by the valenceof the stories that
subjects wrote.

Abstract
under either self-focused attention or other-focused attention
conditions. Self-focused attention was partially induced by in
structing subjects to write a story about themselves, whereas other
focused attention was partially elicited by instructing subjects to
write a story about an acquaintance. Attentional effects on mood
were moderated by the valence of subjects' chronic self
conceptions. Under self-focused attention conditions, positive self
conception subjects reported feeling happier than negative self
conception subjects. However under other focused attention
conditions, positive and negative self conception subjects did not
differ in their reported mood. Supplementary analyses ruled out
the possibility that the relation obtained between self conception
valence and mood was mediated by the valenceof the stories that
subjects wrote.
