We tested the hypothesis that the activation of the motivational systems of approach or avoidance by body postures and taste influences residual attention during the process of encoding differentially valenced words. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to stand upright or kneel while learning either positive or negative adjectives. To measure...
Reports 2 experiments that test whether both emotional and nonemotional feelings may be influenced by uninterpreted proprioceptive input. The logic of the procedure was adopted from studies by F. Strack et al (1988), who unobtrusively manipulated people's facial expressions. In the 1st experiment, a functionally equivalent technique was used to var...

We investigated the hypothesis that people's facial activity influences their affective responses. Two studies were designed to both eliminate methodological problems of earlier experiments and clarify theoretical ambiguities. This was achieved by having subjects hold a pen in their mouth in ways that either inhibited or facilitated the muscles typ...

... Embodiment theories have inspired many behavioral studies on how bodily appearance, sensory perceptions, and actions influence the mind (e.g., Bargh & Shalev, 2012;Peck & Shu, 2009;Strack et al., 1988). ...

... In particular, studies examining aversion (Ciarrochi & Forgas, 1999), ''bad mood'' (Veitch & Griffitt, 1976), and disgust (Canales & Miller, 2002) show mood congruent social judgments. With respect to our specific concerns here-sadness and anger-an experimental induction of a depressed mood will lead to less favorable judgments of others, by comparison with judgments made under a neutral mood (Baron, 1987;Berkowitz & Troccoli, 1990;Forgas, 1990Forgas, , 1991Forgas, , 1992aForgas, , 1992bForgas, , 1993Forgas, , 1995Forgas & Fiedler, 1996, Study 2;Forgas & Moylan, 1991;Gouaux, 1971;Gouaux & Summers, 1973;Stepper & Strack, 1993;Stroessner, Hamilton, & Mackie, 1992). Although very few studies expressly manipulate anger and in turn explicitly examine social judgment (see Bodenhausen et al., 1994), some research on aggression (e.g., Berkowitz & Troccoli, 1990) does provide a basis for predictions. ...
... On the one hand, there is evidence showing that processing of valence-compatible versus incompatible information requires less resources (de Lange & van Knippenberg, 2007;Förster & Stepper, 2000;Förster & Strack, 1997;Gawronski et al., 2005). This implies that monetary feedback that is valence-compatible to the current motivational orientation should be processed more efficiently relative to valence-incompatible cues. ...
... In this review, we propose a two-part solution to this problem. First, consistent with a long history of theorizing in affective science, we view emotion reports as a class of affective decisions (Barrett, 2017;Berkovich & Meiran, 2022;Givon et al., 2020;Karmon-Presser et al., 2018) which take as evidence (among other possible sources) sensory signals (interoceptive: Critchley & Garfinkel, 2017;Terasawa et al., 2013;Wiens, 2005;and proprioceptive: Coles et al., 2019;Stepper & Strack, 1993) and situational appraisals (Lindquist & Barrett, 2008;Scherer & Moors, 2019;Singer-Landau & Meiran, 2021). Second, and more critically, following the example of others in the field (Givon et al., 2020;Karmon-Presser et al., 2018), we argue that viewing self-reports as evidence-based decisions allow us to draw on research from computational models of perceptual and value-based decision-making to resolve tensions over what affective self-reports mean, and reveal novel insights into the dynamics of affective experience. ...
... Diese Imitation von Ausdrucksverhalten, also der Körperhaltung, der Stimmlage und der Mimik, erzeugt Emotionen (Neumann & Strack, 2000). So verstärkt zum Beispiel eine leise und langsame Stimme Trauer (Siegman & Boyle, 1993), hochgezogene Mundwinkel machen fröhlicher (Stack et al., 1988) und eine aufrechte Körperhaltung fördert das Gefühl von Stolz (Stepper & Stack, 1993). Emotionale Ansteckung führt deshalb zu emotionaler Konvergenz von Stimmungen in Arbeitsgruppen, die sich wiederum auf die Motivation und Stimmung der Gruppenmitglieder auswirkt (Barsade, 2001). ...

... Da es für das ZRM kein eigenständiges Beobachtungsinventar gibt, wurden literaturbasiert Kriterien zur Operationalisierung abgeleitet. Im Bereich der Fremdbeobachtung könnten diese basierend auf den Studien von Ekman (2004) zum "facial feedback" oder Stepper (1992) zur Körperhaltung nochmals ergänzt werden. Auch Küttel et al. weisen auf Unterschiede in Mimik und Gestik hin (2014). ...
... Similarly, a seminal study by Strack et al. (1988) on the impact of body manipulations has not been replicated. The authors of the original study (Strack et al. 1988) asked participants to hold a pen in their mouths in a way that either facilitated or inhibited smiling. ...
