The current study investigated potential emotional priming effects on Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) scale scores. Participants included 98 college students who completed a personal narrative intended to induce temporary mood states, the MMPI-2, and a mood rating inventory. Results of the mood manipulation indicated that the individuals who first wrote a negative personal narrative reported a less positive mood (d = -0.79). However, analysis of variance results indicated no statistically significant differences on MMPI-2 scale scores between groups (median [eta][squared] = 0.005). Limitations and future directions are discussed. (Contains 3 tables and 2 note.)
