This paper reports the development with 95 undergraduates of a new method for altering Positive Affect in the laboratory. The method consists of assigning persons to complete a boring task for a specific amount of time and shortly after beginning the task, informing them that the assigned time period has either been increased or reduced. The advantages of this method are that it is effective, relatively free of demand characteristics, ethical, fast to administer, and parallels "real world" experiences. In addition, this procedure seems to circumvent limitations of other mood-induction procedures.
本文报告了针对95名本科生开发的一种在实验室中改变积极情绪的新方法。该方法包括让参与者在特定时间内完成一项枯燥的任务，在开始任务后不久，告知他们分配的时间段已延长或缩短。这种方法的优点是有效、相对不受需求特征影响、符合伦理、实施迅速，并且与“现实世界”的经历相似。此外，该程序似乎规避了其他情绪诱导程序的局限性。
