dc.description.abstractThe effects of different types of positive emotion on executive functions, especially inhibitory control have yet to be investigated clearly. In this study, we explored whether two types of positive emotions, differing on affective arousal, would have differential effects on inhibitory control. Contentment was the low-arousal positive emotion of interest, and amusement was the high-arousal positive emotion of interest. Participants described something that made them feel contentment or amusement, or described their laundry routine. Subsequently, participants completed the Eriksen flanker task, which is a measure of cognitive inhibition. The current study found some evidence suggesting that contentment is detrimental to inhibitory control, while amusement has no effect on inhibitory control. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as suggestions for further studies are discussed.
