    Effect of positive mood on the children's impression-formation judgement
    Agrazada, Divine Grace (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1996-04)
    The study was conducted to determine if positive mood enables children to form positive judgments rather than negative judgments. The study was based on a two—randomized group design. Experimental group was induced in a positive mood and the control group was manipulated with a neutral mood. Neutral mood was also induced to a group of participants to provide a control condition for aid in interpretation of the results. The researcher induced mood through film showing. This method appeared to be the most suitable mood—manipulation technique in the present circumstances. With children , In particular as subjects, videotaped films represent a most suitable and familiar medium for influencing mood. After mood manipulation was completed, the subjects were shown pictures of different persons. These persons served as stimulus characters. Each of the stimulus characters was rated on a IO—centimeter scale as being more closely related to one or the other pair of opposite traits. Thus, participants were asked to write a small vertical line on the 10—centimeter scale to indicate their rating. Results did not show enough evidence for the researcher to conclude that a significant difference in impression—formation judgment will come differentially from positive mood and neutral mood. Based on the findings, children with positive mood and neutral mood both have positive judgments rather than negative judgments. Therefore the researcher concludes that transient mood has no pronounced effect on impression—formation judgment on this study .

    Effects of mood and self-awareness on an individual's helping behavior
    Amponin, Charm Marie G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)
    This experimental research was conducted among student participants in the University to determine whether the differences in mood together with self-awareness can increase or decrease a person's helping behavior. It was also the aim of the researcher to find out if there are significant main effects on Mood and in Self-awareness towards helping. Participants were induced in a positive, neutral, or negative mood using articles having happy content, neither happy nor sad content, and sad content, respectively. On the other hand, self-awareness was measured using the mirror procedure. A brief mood questionnaire determined the story's effectiveness on the participant's affect. Using the Analysis of Variance and Tukey’s HSD test, with a computed F at .05 level of significance, results indicated that the main effect and interaction effect of mood and self-awareness produced a significant increase, as well as a significant decrease, in the participant’s expended effort to aid the researcher. Positive mood operated with self-awareness in increasing the participant's helping behavior to aid a person, while negative mood operated with self-awareness in decreasing their motivation to help. Having a positive feeling is viewed to be more inclined in giving assistance to those in need than those having bad feelings. More so when it makes a person aware that it feels good to give such aid. This study on mood and self-awareness confirmed that our emotions do affect behavior in helping others. Specifically, these determinants showed that being helpful may vary as a result of how a person feels at the moment and how consciously aware they are of themselves in a given situation.
