Zusammenfassung:The current study investigated potential emotional priming effects on Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory—2 (MMPI-2) scale scores. Participants included 98 college students who completed a personal narrative intended to induce temporary mood states, the MMPI-2, and a mood rating inventory. Results of the mood manipulation indicated that the individuals who first wrote a negative personal narrative reported a less positive mood (d = −.79). However, analysis of variance results indicated no statistically significant differences on MMPI-2 scale scores between groups (median η2 = .005). Limitations and future directions are discussed.
