        high = distressed, fearful, nervous
        
        low = calm placid, relaxed
  - - - tense arousal ranges from anxious to calm (negative affect)
      - energetic arousal ranging from active to sleepy (positive affect)
      - hedonic tone ranges from pleased/happy to low spirited/sad
- - - - most common method
      - rely on p's to reflect back to a previous point in time and remember mood
      - can range from day, week, month or years
      - biases
        
        current mood
        
        most extreme mood
        
        mood at the end
        
        beliefs, stereotypes and expectations of mood patterns
    - - collected at the time of the experience
      - benefits
        
        accurate snapshot of mood state
        
        free of memory related cognitive biases
        
        temportal precision
      - limitations
        
        single snapshot only
        
        uses mobile technology which may interfere with daily activities which biases mood
        
        doesn't explain memories of mood
  - - - asked p's to record contemporaneous mood assessment days 1-7 then on day 8 record retrosepctive mood assessment for the week
      - little evidence that mood stereotypes reflected real moods
      - for mondays: mood stereotypes were a better predictor of remembered mood than actual moods were
      - p's beliefs about mood were a better predictor than their actual mood
  - - - demonstrated duration neglect
        
        p's don't account the length of the procedure
        
        focus instead on the overall pain or pain at the end
      - p's retrospective ratings were strongly influenced by peak and end experience
    - - 324 pregnant women recruited on entering a delivery department
      - contemporaneous pain reports every 20mins till birth
      - retrospective pain ratings at 2 days or months later
      - found average of peak and end pain ratings were strong predictors of remembered pain rating than actual average levels of pain experiences
    - - asymmetries in recall of positive and negative events
      - negative influenced by more peak experiences
      - positive influenced more by end experiences
- - - - related to the mind
      - related to the heart
    - - emotion is felt
      - mood is thought
    - - E = distinct physiological patterns
      - M = no distinct physiological pattern
    - - E = caused by specific event/object
      - M = less well defined cause
    - - E = individual is aware
      - M = individual may be unaware
    - - E = about something
      - M = not about anything particular
    - - E = clearly defined
      - M = diffuse/nebulous
    - - E = not controllable
      - M = controllable
    - - E = displayed
      - M = not displayed
