Trait and State Affect -> Categorization(Rogers & Revelle, 1998)•Differential susceptibilities to positive and negative affective states have beenproposed to underlie two major personality dimensions, Extraversion andNeuroticism, respectively. Concurrently, the influence <strong>of</strong> emotional states oncognitive processes has been heavily researched in clinical and socialpsychology. Four studies bridged these areas by investigating the relationsbetween Extraversion, Neuroticism, and the evaluation <strong>of</strong> affectivelypleasant, unpleasant, and neutral word pairs. Specifically measured wereaffectivity ratings, categorization according to affect, judgments <strong>of</strong>associative strength, and response latencies. A strong, consistent cognitivebias toward affective as opposed to neutral stimuli was found acrossparticipants. Although some biases were systematically related to personalityand mood, effects <strong>of</strong> individual differences were present only under specificconditions. <strong>The</strong> results are discussed in terms <strong>of</strong> a personality/moodframework and its implications for cognitive functioning.Rogers, G. and Revelle, W.
