The relative contribution of the instructions and the music to the effects of the Musical Mood Induction Procedure (MMIP) were investigated. Using an experimental procedure which minimised covert experimenter bias, subjects performed under both elation and depression mood inductions in one of four conditions: music present or absent by mood change instructions present or absent, using a crossover design. Results indicated that instructions were both necessary and sufficient to produce change on mood sensitive measures. Mood change effects were reduced by controlling for the effect of subjects who responded so as not to 'louse-up' the experiment. The MMIP seems to be much less musical than the name implies. Further research is needed to determine which aspects of the instructions contribute most to the changes on mood sensitive measures.
研究了指令和音乐对音乐情绪诱导程序（MMIP）效果的相对贡献。采用一种将隐蔽的实验者偏差降至最低的实验程序，受试者在四种条件之一的兴高采烈和抑郁情绪诱导下进行测试：根据情绪变化指令的有无，音乐存在或不存在，采用交叉设计。结果表明，指令对于在情绪敏感测量指标上产生变化既是必要的也是充分的。通过控制那些为了不“搞砸”实验而做出反应的受试者的影响，情绪变化效果有所降低。MMIP似乎远没有其名称所暗示的那么依赖音乐。需要进一步研究以确定指令的哪些方面对情绪敏感测量指标的变化贡献最大。
