Zusammenfassung:Happy or sad moods were experimentally induced in 30 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders using a frequently employed mood-induction technique. Voice affect (with verbal content filtered out) was found to be significantly happier during the positive mood induction than during a baseline neutral condition. Voice affect was significantly sadder during the negative mood induction only for the youngest age group (1st graders). Results support the validity of mood-induction techniques with young children.
