The influence of positive and negative mood induction on phonemic verbal fluency

As part of the laboratory course in General Psychology II at Bielefeld University, we aim to examine the influence of induced happiness and sadness on phonemic verbal fluency. We are interested in exploring whether happiness and sadness affect the number of words that subjects generate in phonemic categories (for letters B and K). Furthermore, we seek to determine whether the size of word clusters into which these words can be grouped, as well as the subjects' tendency to switch between clusters, is influenced by mood. unknown other
