We present results of a randomized controlled study that compared different types of affective messages delivered by pedagogical agents.

The differential effects of self- and other-directed negative affect on subsequent generosity are explored in two studies, both using a modified version of the direct mood inducement procedure (Moore, 1973). Subjects (N=85) in the first experiment were children aged 7-12. Subjects (N=48) in the second experiment were college undergraduates.…

Self-awareness theory has generated considerable research, virtually all of which has been either survey studies or experiments in carefully controlled environments. In an attempt to study the relationship of self-awareness to affect by utilizing an experiential time sampling method, two studies were conducted. In the first, undergraduate…
