title: Influences of mood on academic course evaluations creator: Zumbach, Jörg creator: Funke, Joachim subject: Cognitive Psychology description: In two subsequent experiments, the influence of mood on academic course evaluation is examined. By means of facial feedback, either a positive or a negative mood was induced while students were completing a course evaluation questionnaire during lectures. Results from both studies reveal that a positive mood leads to better ratings of different dimensions of lecture quality. While in Study 1 (N=109) mood was not directly controlled, Study 2 (N=64) replicates the findings of the prior study and reveals direct influences of positive and negative mood on academic course evaluation. date: 2014 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/9834/1/Zumbach%20Funke%202014%20course%20evaluation.pdf identifier: Zumbach, Jörg and Funke, Joachim (2014) Influences of mood on academic course evaluations.
