Subjective rationality, or the feeling of meaning, was identified by William James (1893) as a central aspect of the non-sensory fringe of consciousness. Three studies examined the interaction of positive affect (PA) and individual differences in intuitive information processing in predicting feelings of meaning for various stimuli and life events. In Study 1 (N = 352), PA and intuition interacted to predict understanding for ambiguous quotes and abstract artwork. In Study 2 (N = 211), similar interactions were found for feelings of meaning for fans after their football team lost a conference championship game and for individuals not directly affected by Hurricane Katrina in events surrounding the hurricane. In Study 3 (N = 41), induced PA interacted with individual differences in intuition in predicting accuracy for coherence judgments for loosely related linguistic triads. Intuitive individuals in the positive mood condition recognized coherent triads more accurately than did other participants. Results are discussed in terms of the role of individual differences in intuitive information processing in the relationship of PA to cognition.
主观理性，或意义感，是由威廉·詹姆斯（William James）（1893 年）确定的意识非感官边缘的一个核心方面。三项研究考察了积极情绪（positive affect，PA）和直觉信息处理个体差异在预测各种刺激和生活事件意义感方面的相互作用。在研究 1（N=352）中，PA 和直觉相互作用，预测了对模糊引语和抽象艺术作品的理解。在研究 2（N=211）中，对于足球俱乐部输掉分区冠军赛后球迷的意义感，以及对于不直接受卡特里娜飓风影响的人在飓风周围事件中的意义感，也发现了类似的相互作用。在研究 3（N=41）中，诱导的 PA 与直觉个体差异相互作用，预测了对松散相关语言三联体连贯性判断的准确性。积极情绪状态下的直觉个体比其他参与者更准确地识别出连贯的三联体。研究结果从积极情绪与认知关系中直觉信息处理个体差异的作用方面进行了讨论。
