Seeing and mastering difficulty: The role of affective change in achievement flow (2010, background): “…processes (‘‘How does the person feel?’’) are critical indicators for enactment-related determinants like mastery-approach or mastery-avoidance, especially with regard to behavioural facilitation or inhibition (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005; Gray, 1987; Kazén & Kuhl, 2005; Kuhl, 2000; Kuhl & Kazén, 1999).”
A Brain Mechanism for Facilitation of Insight by Positive Affect (2009, unknown): “Another hypothesis is that PA enhances switching between global and local attentional modes (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005) or between strategies (Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004), or, similarly, that it enhances selection of different perspectives (Ashby et al., 1999).”
Explaining Vigor: On the Antecedents and Consequences of Vigor as a Positive Affect at Work (2007, background): “Existing research on positive affect has supported the view that both naturally occurring and induced positive affective states tend to facilitate flexible, effective problem solving and decision making (Baumann and Kuhl, 2005; Isen, 2001).”
A Dynamic Perspective on Affect and Creativity (2013, background): “During a subsequent episode of positive affect, cognitive flexibility and activation increase, and knowledge is processed in a top-down manner (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005; Derryberry & Tucker, 1994).”
Mapping 50 Years of Small Group Research Through Small Group Research (2020, background): “For example, work indicating that positive affect can increase relational considerations by broadening people’s awareness (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005; Emich, 2014; Isen et al., 1987), including consideration of their social networks (Shea et al., 2015), establishes the possibility that positive affect…”
GLOMOsys: A Systems Account of Global Versus Local Processing (2010, background): “…when concerns of security are replaced by an emphasis on self-fulfillment and growth, which represent a category of abstractly defined goals (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005), a global processing style is triggered, because merely attending to the concrete surroundings would be insufficient or even…”
Beyond Affective Valence: Untangling Valence and Activation Influences on Opportunity Identification (2015, background): “Positively valenced affect has also been tied to usage of broader and more inclusive categories (Amabile, 1983; Isen & Daubman, 1984; Isen, Niedenthal, & Cantor, 1992), more flexible deployment of attention (Baumann & Kuhl, 2005), and more global visual configuration (Gasper, 2003).”
Happiness and Productivity (2015, unknown): “recent work, this has been proposed in a narrow context, of the perception of local versus global aspects of a visual scene (Baumann and Kuhl, 2005; Tan, Jones and Watson, 2009).”
