Two studies tested the idea that perceptions of coice can alter the self - relevance and emotional impact of thoughts. Participants who were intially in either a positive or negative mood engaged in a thought exercise that involved either positive or negative thinking. Half of the participants received information stressing the optional nature of the task, thereby fostering a sense of choice and personal determination. The results indicate that under high - choice, mood - incongruent thinking was especially self - relevant, memorable, and produced the most mood change. The findings raise new considerations for self - perception and cognitive dissonance theories and offer insights into the relationship between cognition and emotion.
