The current studies examined how positive affect (i.e. the blend of several positive feelings over time) and discrete positive emotions (i.e. a specific set of momentary thoughts and feelings) influence organ donor registration outcomes.
In Study 1, participants were randomly assigned to a writing task intended to elicit positive or negative affect. In Study 2, participants received a discrete positively valenced emotion induction (i.e. elevation, humor, hubristic pride), or were in a control condition.
Study 1 (N = 503) indicated a causal relationship between general positive affect and registration attitudes. An indirect effect beginning with general positive affect, going through attitudes, and then intentions, to influence behavior was also indicated. Study 2a (N = 394) demonstrated that elevation, humor, and hubristic pride can be influenced using an online platform. Study 2b (N = 1,046) indicated a causal relationship between elevation and increased registration intentions and behavior. The humor recall task caused marginally significant greater registration intentions, but no significant behavioral differences. The hubristic pride task did not influence registration outcomes.
Organ donor practitioners and scholars could benefit from increased focus on the emotional states likely to be experienced at different venues when considering intervention contexts.
本研究旨在探讨积极情绪（即随着时间推移多种积极情绪的融合）和离散积极情绪（即特定的瞬间想法和感受）如何影响器官捐赠登记结果。
在研究 1 中，参与者被随机分配到一个旨在引发积极或消极情绪的写作任务中。在研究 2 中，参与者接受了离散的积极情绪诱导（即提升、幽默、傲慢的骄傲），或处于控制条件下。
研究 1（N=503）表明，一般积极情绪与登记态度之间存在因果关系。还表明，一般积极情绪通过态度，然后通过意图影响行为，从而产生间接影响。研究 2a（N=394）表明，使用在线平台可以影响提升、幽默和傲慢的骄傲。研究 2b（N=1046）表明，提升与增加登记意图和行为之间存在因果关系。幽默回忆任务导致登记意向略有显著增加，但行为上没有显著差异。傲慢的骄傲任务没有影响登记结果。
器官捐赠从业者和学者可以从增加对不同环境下可能经历的情绪状态的关注中受益，这在考虑干预环境时很重要。
