Positive education: positive psychology and classroom interventions (2009, positive): “Positive mood produces broader attention (Fredrickson, 1998; Bolte et al. , 2003; Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005; Rowe et al. , 2007), more creative thinking (Isen et al. , Positive education 295 1987; Estrada et al. , 1994), and more holistic thinking (Isen et al. , 1991; Kuhl, 1983, 2000), in…”

A Brain Mechanism for Facilitation of Insight by Positive Affect (2009, positive): “…1985); (4) global or broad attention is associated with RH visual processing, creative problem solving (Ansburg & Hill, 2003), and positive mood (Rowe et al., 2007; Gasper & Clore, 2002); and (5) inducing an approach regulatory focus (with low arousal) increases measures of relative RH…”
Does Emotion Directly Tune the Scope of Attention? (2013, background): “…results, because flexibility on such perceptual outcomes may reflect postperceptual processes, such as biases in response selection (Kimchi, 1992; Rowe et al., 2007), this initial research may have merely revealed superficial shifts in the scope of attention rather than an underlying change in…”
Effects of specific emotions on subjective judgment, driving performance, and perceived workload (2014, background): “, Johnson & Tversky, 1983; Raghunathan & Pham, 1999), or listen to music (e.g., Jefferies et al., 2008; Rowe et al., 2007) in order to induce affect.”
Open Hearts Build Lives: Positive Emotions, Induced Through Loving-Kindness Meditation, Build Consequential Personal Resources (2008, positive): “Experiments have shown that, relative to neutral and negative states, induced positive emotions widen the scope of people’s visual attention (Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005; Rowe, Hirsh, & Anderson, 2007; Wadlinger & Isaacowitz, 2006), broaden their repertoires of desired actions (Fredrickson & Bran”
Towards a positive university (2011, background): “Increases in well-being are likely to produce increases in learning because positive mood produces broader attention (Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005; Rowe et al., 2007), more creative thinking (Estrada, Isen, & Young, 1994; Isen, Daubman, & Nowicki, 1987) and more holistic thinking (Isen, Niedenthal,…”
Remembering the Details: Effects of Emotion (2009, result): “More generally, this valence-dependent effect on encoding processes is consistent with the proposal that negative valence leads individuals to focus attention on local details whereas positive valence leads to a broadening of attention and to a focus on heuristics (e.g., Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005”
Emotions drive attention: Effects on driver’s behaviour (2009, background): “, the taking into account of future plans and actions (Fiedler and Bless, 2001; Rowe et al., 2007).”
