		Thus, besides an ideological and value-basis to the scope of justice, the results of the present study imply that a person’s mood also affects his or her scope of justice, though future research is needed on this question.
		Studies of observer responses to human-to-human abuse have found that both an observer’s mood and the similarity of the victim to the observer affect the observer’s desire to help the victim and punish the offender.
		Thus, in the present study, people in a better mood may use similarity to form the basis of their empathic response to animal abuse.

	An Environmental Approach to Positive Emotion: Flowers by Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Holly Hale Rosario, Patricia Wilson and Terry R. McGuire
		Also, the long-term expression of positive moods leads to a prolonged involvement in an ongoing activity, and several researchers have argued that happiness is related to feelings of safety and would therefore be associated with social gathering and caring for infants (for reviews see Ekman and Davidson, 1994).
		Both short and long-term expressions of positive emotion are related to secondary effects of positive mood.
		Then if interviews and self-reports corroborate the positive effects, this is evidence for long term or secondary effects on mood.

	Invitational Mood
		The indicative mood purports to indicate the way things are; when operating from an indicative mood, accounts about goings-on in the world are either correct or incorrect.
		The invitational mood can be used in therapeutic relationships as a method employed by clinicians to gently guide clients toward exploration of alternative possibilities and strategies for coping with their complaints and perceiving their worlds.
		The invitational mood and its encouragement to consider one’s most cherished assumptions as tentative, "as if" hypotheses rather than final and unchallengeable truths invites clients to suspend current constructions that are no longer working long enough to entertain new possibilities (Epting, 1984; Epting and Prichard, 1993).

		DSM-IV includes the major categories of abnormal behavior which are anxiety disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorders and phobias; affective disorders, which are disturbances of mood such as depression; schizophrenic disorders, which are characterized by major disturbances in personality and distortion of reality; and various personality disorders.
		Abnormal behavior is defined as behavior that is considered to be maladaptive or deviant by the social culture in which it occurs.
		Lastly, abnormality may be defined based on the subjective feelings of misery, depression, or anxiety of an individual rather than any behavior he exhibits.

		In rarer cases, the psychotic experiences are mood- incongruent: The content of the delusion or hallucination does not involve the themes typical in manic episodes (eg: delusions of being controlled, refusing to move or speak).
		The Mood Disorders are characterized by prolonged and persistent positive and/or negative emotions, which are of such intensity that they can color and interfere with all aspects of one's life.
		This expansive and elevated mood may have an infectious quality for the uninvolved observer, but for those who know the person well, the mood is recognized as excessive.

	Working with Color in Dreams
		Gray coloring of an imagery in dreams may be a painting over it with a mood of non-involvement in order to shield the dreamer from the emotions or side of self represented by the dream image.
		The impact of this research in the field of “color psychology” is primarily seen today in the influence it has had in the field of advertising, food packaging, art, style, decorating and such.
		Color illumination has been shown to affect the autonomic nervous system directly [8], as well as the brains electrical response [14], responses that change with color across the spectrum.

	Coping Strategies
		Effects of optimism and coping on stressor-related mood and immune changes.
		Active coping strategies are either behavioral or psychological responses designed to change the nature of the stressor itself or how one thinks about it, whereas avoidant coping strategies lead people into activities (such as alcohol use) or mental states (such as withdrawal) that keep them from directly addressing stressful events.
		Generally speaking, active coping strategies, whether behavioral or emotional, are thought to be better ways to deal with stressful events, and avoidant coping strategies appear to be a psychological risk factor or marker for adverse responses to stressful life events (Holahan and Moos, 1987).

	The Madness Of Crowds
		One way to see the market is as a disorganized crowd of individuals whose sole common purpose is to ascertain the future mood of the market (the balance of power between bulls and bears) and thereby profit from a correct trading decision today.
		Regardless of the style of analysis or system employed by a trader, one primary aim of his or her trading endeavors is to understand the degree of control held by the bulls or bears at any given time, and to predict who should hold power in the near to distant future.
		The key to such widespread phenomena lies in the nature of the crowd: the way in which a collection of usually calm, rational individuals can be overwhelmed by such emotion when it appears their peers are behaving in a certain universal manner.

		DSM-IV: "A pervasive and sustained emotion that colours the perception of the world…In contrast to affect, which refers to more fluctuating changes in emotional ‘weather’, mood refers to a more pervasive and sustained emotional ‘climate’." Mood is a general state and is not directed towards anything specific (unlike an emotion).
		See the differentiation between emotion and mood in this example: Sadness is an emotion (specific, directed to a specific person/place/thing/event, and is relatively short-lived).

	Learning Theory and Behavioral Psychology in Psychology 101 at AllPsych Online
		Behavioral Psychology is basically interested in how our behavior results from the stimuli both in the environment and within ourselves.
		The central idea behind behaviorism is that only observable behaviors are worthy of research since other abstraction such as a person’s mood or thoughts are too subjective.
		Often a grueling process, but results have helped us learn a great deal about our behaviors, the effect our environment has on us, how we learn new behaviors, and what motivates us to change or remain the same.

	'The Mob' - by Vigilant, Westralian Worker, 9 November 1917
		Brutus and Cassius, in carefully reasoned speeches, show that the murder of Caesar was unavoidable, if the freedom of the State were to be preserved, and having concluded, left their auditors in thoughtful mood, with the admonition to remain, and hear what Antony would say.
		But these pages of French history have been discussed specifically from the point of view of the student of mob psychology by a French author named Gustave Le Bon.

	The Evolution and Human Adaptation Program
		An enduring line of research in psychology has investigated how mood is influenced by success or failure in the pursuit of major life goals, but this research has never been united with its proper foundation in behavioral ecology with its sophisticated methods that allow careful description and prediction of how organisms allocate their effort.
		The power of an evolutionary approach to understand mood and depression seems to collapse when it confronts ideographic diversity.
		This lecture will argue that the capacity for mood is part of a domain general mechanism shaped by natural selection to allocate effort away from goal pursuits that are failing, and towards those that are paying off.

	Janus Head 3.2 / Robert Romanyshyn - Psychology is Useless; Or, It Should Be
		Even from within the abyss, it seems more fitting that the language of psychology echo the aesthetic voice of Soul, the voice of dream and fantasy, mood and feeling, image and vision, symptom and symbol, than attempt the precision of science and its empirical speech, or the clarity of philosophy and its rational tones.
		At times, depth psychology is tempted toward a reductive interpretation of a work of art, as Freud, for example, is in his essay "The Moses of Michelangelo" (1914/1955).
		Mystic, alchemist, and hysteric, are guides who return psychology to the poet, because poet, mystic, alchemist, and hysteric all dwell in one way or another within that same epistemological space of negative capability, that imaginal world of Soul where the "heart has its reasons which reason itself does not know" (Pascal, 1995, p.158).
