  • Color Psychology

    Andrew J Elliot, Markus Maier et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Psychology2014

    Color is a ubiquitous perceptual stimulus that is often considered in terms of aesthetics. Here we review theoretical and empirical work that looks beyond color aesthetics to the link between color and psychological functioning in humans. We begin by setting a historical context for research in this area, particularly highlighting methodological issues that hampered earlier empirical work. We proceed to overview theoretical and methodological adv…

  • Achievement goals and achievement emotions

    Reinhard Pekrun, Andrew J Elliot et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2009

    The authors propose a theoretical model linking achievement goals and achievement emotions to academic performance. This model was tested in a prospective study with undergraduates (N 213), using exam-specific assessments of both goals and emotions as predictors of exam performance in an introductory-level psychology course. The findings were consistent with the authors ’ hypotheses and supported all aspects of the proposed model. In multiple reg…

  • Context specificity of implicit preferences

    Markus Maier, Markus A Maier et al.ARTICLEEmotion2009

    Three experiments were conducted on color preference using a spontaneous selection paradigm with infant participants. Experiment 1 demonstrated that participants prefer red over green in a friendly laboratory environment. Experiment 2 demonstrated that participants' preference for red varies with the context in which the color is presented: Red is preferred in a hospitable context (following a happy face), but not in a hostile context (following …

  • Color and psychological functioning

    Andrew J Elliot, Markus Maier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental…2007

    This research focuses on the relation between color and psychological functioning, specifically, that between red and performance attainment. Red is hypothesized to impair performance on achievement tasks, because red is associated with the danger of failure in achievement contexts and evokes avoidance motivation. Four experiments demonstrate that the brief perception of red prior to an important test (e.g., an IQ test) impairs performance, and t…

  • Achievement goals and discrete achievement emotions

    Reinhard Pekrun, Andrew J Elliot et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2006

    A theoretical model linking achievement goals to discrete achievement emotions is proposed. The model posits relations between the goals of the trichotomous achievement goal framework and 8 commonly experienced achievement emotions organized in a 2 (activity/outcome focus) × 2 (positive/negative valence) taxonomy. Two prospective studies tested the model in German and American college classrooms. The results were largely in line with the hypothes…
