Abstract: Despite widely acknowledged differences among happiness, anger, fear, and sadness, there exist no set of experimental procedures that are parallel in form for inducing such specific moods. Four specific mood inductions are developed using guided imagery to engage foreground attention and emotional music to set a background state. Vignettes and music are rated in Experiment 1, and inductions are tested in Experiment 2 and perform quite well, and the external validity of the inductions is demonstarted in Experiment 3.
