A report on research designed to test the hypothesis thatpositive mood increases spontaneous (baseline) variability andnegative mood decreases spontaneous variability. It was furtherhypothesized that trained (reinforced) levels of variability wouldnot differ across different moods. Participants played a computergame designed to assess spontaneous levels of variability and thento train participants to be variable. While the participants playedthe game, they were shown a series of positive, negative or neutralfacts designed to induce these respective moods. Mood measuresindicated that the negative mood induction was a success, thoughthe positive mood induction was a failure. No effect of mood oneither spontaneous or trained levels of variability was detectableaccording to an established measure of variability, the U-value. Asecond method for measuring variability, analysis of switch rates,indicated that those in the negative mood were less variable thanthose in the neutral mood. Possible reasons why this occurred areexplored. Implications of this finding are discussed andsuggestions for future research presented.
