Mood has varied effects on cognitive performance including the accuracy of face recognition (Lundh & Ost, 1996). Three experiments are presented here that explored face recognition abilities in mood-induced participants. Experiment 1 demonstrated that happy-induced participants are less accurate and have a more conservative response bias than sad-induced participants in a face recognition task. Using a remember/know/guess procedure, Experiment 2 showed that sad-induced participants had more conscious recollections of faces than happy-induced participants. Additionally, sad-induced participants could recognise all faces accurately, whereas, happy- and neutral-induced participants recognised happy faces more accurately than sad faces. In Experiment 3, these effects were not observed when participants intentionally learnt the faces, rather than incidentally learnt the faces. It is suggested that happy-induced participants do not process faces as elaborately as sad-induced participants.
情绪对认知表现有各种影响，包括面部识别的准确性（Lundh & Ost, 1996）。这里呈现了三个实验，探讨了情绪诱导参与者的面部识别能力。实验 1 表明，在面部识别任务中，快乐诱导的参与者比悲伤诱导的参与者准确性更低，反应偏向更保守。使用记住/知道/猜测程序，实验 2 表明，悲伤诱导的参与者对面部的有意识回忆比快乐诱导的参与者更多。此外，悲伤诱导的参与者可以准确识别所有的面孔，而快乐和中性诱导的参与者则可以更准确地识别快乐的面孔，而不是悲伤的面孔。在实验 3 中，当参与者有意学习面孔而不是偶然学习面孔时，这些影响就没有观察到。这表明，快乐诱导的参与者对面孔的处理不如悲伤诱导的参与者精细。
