In 2 studies, the effects of mood on the formation of distinctiveness-based illusory correlations were examined. After exposure to stimuli inducing positive, neutral, or negative mood, Ss read information about behaviors performed by members of 2 groups in an illusory correlation paradigm. In both experiments, only Ss in a neutral mood formed illusory correlations. In addition, Experiment 2 assessed Ss' processing latencies as a means of investigating differential attention to distinctive behaviors. Only Ss in a neutral mood differentially attended to the minority group's infrequent behaviors. Induced mood apparently interfered with the processing necessary to differentially encode distinctive stimuli, undermining the illusory correlation effect.
在两项研究中，考察了情绪对基于独特性的错觉相关形成的影响。在接触诱导积极、中性或消极情绪的刺激后，被试在错觉相关范式中阅读关于两组成员所执行行为的信息。在两个实验中，只有处于中性情绪的被试形成了错觉相关。此外，实验2评估了被试的加工潜伏期，作为考察对独特行为的不同注意力的一种手段。只有处于中性情绪的被试对少数群体的罕见行为给予了不同的关注。诱导情绪显然干扰了对独特刺激进行差异编码所需的加工，从而破坏了错觉相关效应。
