Positive Mood and Math Performance.

Bryan, Tanis; Bryan, James

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n8 p490-94 Oct 1991

In two studies involving 18 secondary-level students with learning disabilities and 32 elementary-level at-risk African-American and Hispanic students, it was found that students exposed to positive-mood induction completed more math problems accurately than control children, and the secondary-level experimental students expressed greater self-efficacy for math than controls did.
