MOOD AND ACHIEVEMENT IN A DIFFICULT DRIVING TASK

Ratings of mood (pleasantness, activity, calmness, confidence), degree of involvement and probability of success were made before and after two varieties of a difficult driving task on a slippery road. Error scores were also obtained. Involvement and probability of success were related to mood as expected, and error scores were consistently and negatively correlated to mood: subjects who felt more unpleasant, tired, tense and uncertain also made more errors. These trends were confirmed also when rated probability of success was held constant in partial correlation analyses. (TRRL)
