The article provides an overview of common and differentiating self-reported and objective sleep disturbances seen in mood-disordered populations. The importance of considering sleep disturbances in the context of mood disorders is emphasized, because a large body of evidence supports the notion that sleep disturbances are a risk factor for onset, exacerbation, and relapse of mood disorders. In...

SHORT-TERM MOOD REGULATION: COGNITIVE, NEURAL, AND GENETIC ASSOCIATIONS Seth J. Gillihan Advisor: Martha J. Farah Short-term fluctuations in mood have significant effects on a multitude of outcomes. The ability to regulate one's mood therefore has potentially far-reaching implications. The current work addressed three sub-domains in the area of short-term mood regulation. Study 1 tested the hyp...

A new hypothesis is proposed to account for the relation between sad mood and selfconception valence, the first, congruency; then, incongruency' hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, sad mood initially influences the valence of open-ended self-descriptions in a mood-congruent fashion, but after a short period of time self-descriptions become mood-incongruent. Subjects were placed into a sad...

There is a growing interest in developing and then evaluating Music Information Retrieval (MIR) systems that can provide automated access to the mood dimension of music. Mood as a music access feature, however, is not well understood in that the terms used to describe it are not standardized and their application can be highly idiosyncratic. To better understand how we might develop methods for...

THIS ARTICLE ADDRESSES FOUR INTERRELATED RESEARCH QUESTIONS (1) Does experienced mood affect emotion perception in faces and is this perception mood-congruent or mood-incongruent?(2) Are there age-group differences in the interplay between experienced mood and emotion perception? (3) Does emotion perception in faces change as a function of the temporal sequence of study sessions and stimuli pre...

Research to intraday fluctuations of mood in healthy subjects has indicated that diurnal patterns occur in positive mood states such as vigour, happiness and hedonic tone as well as in negative mood states such as fatigue, depression and anxiety (14). Yet, no clear statements can be made about how mood states are related to time of the day, because conflicting findings have been reported about ...

UNLABELLED Advanced prostate cancer patients often undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Advanced disease and adverse ADT side effects are often debilitating and negatively impact mood. Social support has been shown to mitigate detrimental effects of stress on mood. OBJECTIVE This study sought to characterize positive and negative mood in this select patient population and determine whe...

INTRODUCTION Little is known about the neural correlates of mood states and the specific physiological changes associated with their valence and duration, especially in young people. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging is particularly well-suited to study sustained cerebral states in young people, due to its robustness to low-frequency drift, excellent interscan reliability, and noninvasivenes...
