Religious commitment and positive mood as information about meaning in life (2008, unknown): “The mood as information hypothesis posits that current mood may be used as a cue when making evaluative judgments (Schwarz, 2001; Schwarz & Clore, 1996).”
Positive affect and the experience of meaning in life. (2006, background): “Meaning Judgments and Mood as Information Research has shown that people sometimes use current mood as a source of information when making evaluative judgments, unless the source of their mood has been made salient (for review, see Schwarz, 2001; Schwarz & Clore, 1996).”
Meaning in Life as a Subjective Judgment and a Lived Experience (2009, background): “Research has demonstrated that when individuals judge an abstract life domain, rather than consult all of the declarative information relevant to the judgment, they may instead consult mood to provide an answer (Diener, 1994; Schwarz, 2001; Schwarz & Clore, 1983, 1996).”
Interactive Effects of Mood and Task Framing on Creative Generation (2007, background): “Notably, this pattern was not detected in our first two experiments, in which the serious task framing manipulation was far more heavy-handed; therefore, as previously suggested, it may be the case that individuals in positive moods will only withdraw effort from serious tasks when, as in the presen”
When Do Losses Loom Larger than Gains? (2005, methodology): “Building on the feelings-as-information theory (e.g., Pham et al. 2001; Schwarz 2001), they propose that losing an item is experienced as unpleasant, yielding psychological discomfort, which positively colors the valuation of the threatened item.”
Regulatory fit and persuasion: transfer from "Feeling Right.". (2004, background): “As Schwarz and Clore (1996; Schwarz, 2001) noted, the “How do I feel about it?” question does not need to be asked explicitly, nor do the feelings have to be consciously attributed to the judgment target.”
Mood, self-set goals and examination performance: the moderating effect of depressed mood (2005, background): “Research has demonstrated that different negative moods have different effects on performance (Hanin, 2000; Lane & Terry, 2000; Schwarz & Bless, 1991; Schwarz, 2001).”
Feeling Is for Doing: A Pragmatic Approach to the Study of Emotions in Economic Behavior (2006, background): “Evidently, the valence dimension of emotions is important, and by now there is no denying that affect is information about inner and outer states (Schwarz, 2001), but we hope to show that it is time to move beyond this.”
The role of arousal congruency in influencing consumers' satisfaction evaluations and in‐store behaviors (2007, background): “Consequently, people are likely to ask themselves “how do I feel about it?” when asked to assess their level of satisfaction with retail environments (Schwarz, 2001).”
Positive mood and social relatedness as information about meaning in life (2009, background): “One explanation of the relationship between PA and meaning in life is the well-established mood as information effect found in numerous studies in the social cognitive literature (Schwarz, 2001; Schwarz & Clore, 1996, 2003).”
Option Attachment: When Deliberating Makes Choosing Feel Like Losing. (2003, background): “Or it can be understood via people’s tendency to infer their attitudes from their feelings (Schwarz 2001), coupled with consumers’ focus on what is forgone in transactions (Carmon and Ariely 2000; Sen and Johnson 1997)—the discomfort signals that the forgone option must be more attractive than it…”
