Research

Emotions impact our cognitive processes

Positive moods help with creative tasks, likely to be more original, generate a greater number of arguments / options. More receptive, more ‘big picture’, positive

Neutral or slightly negative moods result in

a more careful, systematic, bottoms-up

approach; better quality arguments. More closed, detail oriented, focus on

what won’t work.
