Research examining the influence of affect on self - focused attention has concentrated exclusively on the valence dimension (i. e., negative - positive) of affect. The authors propose that the dimension of affect orientation (i. e., reflective - social) illuminates consider ably this relation. A reflective orientation refers to atendency for inaction, whereas a social orientation refers to a tendency for action. Two experiments tested the hypothesis that two opposite - valenced but reflective affective states (i. e., sadness and contentment) heighten self - focused attention, whereas two opposite -valenced but social affective states (i. e., thrill and anger) reduce self - focused attention. Affect was induced via an imagination task (Experiment 1) or an imagination task combined with musical selections (Experiment 2). Self - focused attention was assessed through the state version of the Private Self - Consciousness (PSC) scale (Experiment 1) or the state version of the PSC plus a behavioural intention measure (Experiment 2). The results confirmed the hypothesis.
