Abstract
We investigated whether a deliberative vs. implemental mindset moderates the effect of happy or sad mood on task persistence. Happy mood decreased persistence in a deliberative mindset, but an implemental mindset neutralized the mood effects. Patterns of task persistence (in sec) and the number of completed trials supported our hypothesis.
