The Importance of Being Emotional : How do Emotions Affect Entrepreneurial Opportunity Evaluation and Exploitation?

Can negative affect eliminate the power of first impressions? Affective influences on primacy and recency effects in impression formation (2011, background): “An integrative theoretical account of mood effects on processing style was developed by Bless and Fiedler (2006; Bless, 2001; Fiedler, 2001), suggesting that positive moods promote more assimilative, holistic and top–down processing style, while negative moods recruit more accommodative, stimulus-dr”

The role of behavioral mind-sets in goal-directed activity: Conceptual underpinnings and empirical evidence. (2010, background): “At the comprehension stage, for example, happy individuals are more inclined than unhappy individuals to break social event information into broad conceptual units (Bless, 2001).”
How do we learn in a negative mood? Effects of a negative mood on transfer and learning (2007, background): “One major function of mood is to inform the subject about the general quality of his or her momentary emotional state (cf.

Positive affect and the experience of meaning in life.

Interactive Effects of Mood and Task Framing on Creative Generation (2007, background): “Parallel findings have also emerged from the domain of problem solving, where it has been shown that individuals in negative affective states exhibit superior performance on a range of tasks that demand careful, effortful processing (e.g., correlation estimation, Sinclair & Mark, 1995; logical reaso”
On being happy and gullible: Mood effects on skepticism and the detection of deception (2008, background): “Encouragingly, our findings seem highly consistent with recent affect-cognition theories (Bless, 2001; Fiedler, 2001; Forgas, 1995, 2002), and suggest that further research on affective influences on veracity judgments and the detection of deception should be of considerable theoretical as well as a”
Detecting and constructing meaning in life events (2009, background): “…support the contention that the detection and construction of meaning in events fit into the larger framework of research on mood and cognition, which has identified positive affect with top-down processing and negative affect with bottom-up processing (Bless, 2001; Fiedler, 2001; Schwarz, 2002).”
