Abstract
Recent research has demonstrated the transfer of induced
mood functions through equivalence relations by means of a
musical mood-induction procedure. The research described in
this article replicated and extended such work, primarily with the
inclusion of a baseline and two types of reversal procedures. First,
16 adult participants were trained and tested for the formation of
two three-member equivalence classes (A1-B1-C1 and A2-B2-C2).
A musical mood-induction procedure was used to induce happy
and sad mood states in the presence of the B stimuli, and a transfer
of mood functions test was administered to determine whether the
corresponding mood functions had transferred via equivalence to
the C stimuli. Participants were then exposed to either Reversal 1,
in which only the functions attached to the B stimuli were reversed,
or to Reversal 2, in which the structure of the equivalence classes
was altered. At all stages throughout the experiment, participants
were asked to rate their current mood state by using mood and
incentive rating scales. The findings of the current study replicated
the results of previous research in demonstrating a clear transfer
of mood functions via equivalence relations. This outcome is
compared with the existing literature about mood induction and the
transfer of mood functions.
