  Mood and Violence Sensitivity: Using an Emotion Elicitation Paradigm to Examine Violence Severity

  My Master's Thesis based upon the pilot study presented as a poster previously (Violence Sensitivity and Affect) that examines violence sensitivity within the context of an emotion elicitation paradigm. This project utilized two methods of emotion elicitation: internally generated emotions (Automatic Story Recall) and externally generated emotions (Film Clip Procedure). The study examined the influence of the following emotions; anger

  fear

  sadness

  happiness in addition to a neutral condition. Focus was placedl not only on emotion elicitation and improvement of the previous study but also re-examined the relationship between aggression and perception of violence severity.

  Mood and Violence Sensitivity: Using an Emotion Elicitation Paradigm to Examine Violence Severity
