  • Being Sad Is Not Always Bad

    Caitlin Mills, Jennifer Wu et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Processes2019Cited by: 2References: 46

    We investigated how affective states influence expository text comprehension and whether text valence moderates the effects (i.e., mood congruency). In Experiment 1 participants were randomly assigned to a happy or sad affective state (elicited via films) before reading a positive or negative version of a scientific text on animal adaptations. Participants (n = 79) in the sad (film) group had higher scores on deep-reasoning (d = .312) but not sur…

  • Too much of a good thing? Exploring the inverted‐U relationship between self‐control and happiness

    Open AccessChristopher W Wiese, Louis Tay et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2018

    Objective Can having too much self‐control make people unhappy? Researchers have increasingly questioned the unilateral goodness of self‐control and proposed that it is beneficial only up to a certain point, after which it becomes detrimental. The little empirical research on the issue shows mixed results. Hence, we tested whether a curvilinear relationship between self‐control and subjective well‐being exists. Method We used multiple metrics (qu…

  • Toward Spoken Human–Computer Tutorial Dialogues

    Sidney D’Mello, Sidney K D'Mello et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction2010

    Oral discourse is the primary form of human–human communication, hence, computer interfaces that communicate via unstructured spoken dialogues will presumably provide a more efficient, meaningful, and naturalistic interaction experience. Within the context of learning environments, there are theoretical positions supporting a speech facilitation hypothesis that predicts that spoken tutorial dialogues will increase learning more than typed dialogu…
