The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions. (2004, background): “They perceive strangers in a more positive light (Forgas, 2001) and feel more trust toward casual acquaintances (Dunn & Schweitzer, 2005).”
Are Audit-related Ethical Decisions Dependent upon Mood? (2006, background): “For example, Forgas (1992, 2001) proposes an Affect Infusion Model (AIM) which asserts that affect has the strongest impact on decisions when cognitive processing is substantive (when the judge is motivated to be accurate and the target is unusual or complex) or heuristic (use of shortcuts or…”
Why do lay people believe that satisfaction and performance are correlated? possible sources of a commonsense theory (2003, background): “However, the effects of induced positive moods on performance have been found to be complex and not uniform across tasks (cf. Aspinwall, 1998; Forgas, 2001; Martin & Clore, 2001), casting doubt on the argument that positive mood always improves performance.”
Complex problem solving: a case for complex cognition? (2010, methodology): “…three different approaches—the ''affect as information'' approach by Schwarz (1990), the ''assimilation–accommodation'' approach by Fiedler (2001), and the ''affect-infusion'' model by Forgas (2001)—compete with each other to explain the interaction between cognitive processes and affective states.”
Unpacking Intuition: A Process and Outcome Framework (2011, background): “Affect infusion is a process whereby “affectively loaded information exerts an influence on, and becomes incorporated into, cognitive and judgmental processes” (Forgas, 2001, p. 101).”
Value Is in the Eye of the Owner (2012, background): “…is applied when the target (i.e., the possession) is highly familiar, the individual is not personally involved, and circumstances require little effort; individuals routinely avail themselves of stored information and experience in processing activities, eliminating emotionality (Forgas, 2001).”
Extending the Socioemotional Wealth Perspective: A Look at the Dark Side (2012, background): “Affect infusion theory, which is grounded in cognitive psychology (e.g., Forgas, 1995), describes how positive and negative valence biases cognitive processes as well as how these biases influence the framing of situations and judgments (e.g., Forgas, 2001; Mittal & Ross, 1998).”
