Abstract
A music mood induction was used to induce either elated, depressed, or neutral mood in 71 college undergraduates tested in groups of 6–8 Ss. Mood was induced using 3 20-min musical induction tapes developed and validated by M. F. Pignatiello et al (1986) that corresponded to elated, depressed, and neutral conditions. Four self-rated factors were assessed in terms of their association with mood change scores: familiarity with the musical selections presented, ability to concentrate during mood induction, years of musical training, and enjoyment of the selections presented. Elated Ss scored significantly higher than depressed Ss on mood ratings. Creativity measures administered to each group revealed that Ss in the elated and depressed groups showed significantly greater creativity than Ss in the neutral group. Findings are interpreted in light of existing research on the relationship between mood and creativity.
