Mood-Congruent Memory and Natural Mood: New Evidence.

Mayer, John D.; And Others

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, v21 n7 p736-46 Jul 1995

Presents new evidence that everyday mood does bring about a hypothesized effect on memory, termed mood-congruent memory (MCM). Results of three studies provided evidence for MCM among normal individuals (n=614). Findings support prior studies and bolster notions that mood and memory constantly covary in everyday experience.
