Brief Overview of Empirical Chapters. ‌ To recapitulate, the current thesis will focus on the associations between the following affective factors and measures of auditory perception: Chapter 2 will look at effects of mood on the perception of pitch shift direction. Chapter 3 will examine effects of mood on the masked auditory threshold (also, see Bolders, Band, & Xxxxxxx, 2017). Chapter 4 deals with the relationship between perceptual sensitivity and trait reactivity (also, see Xxxxxxx, Tops, Band, & Xxxxxxx, 2017), and Chapter 5 explores EC as a method to establish enduring changes in the affective quality of short environmental sounds (also, see Bolders, Band, & Xxxxxxx, 2012). Ups and Downs in Mood and Pitch: Mood Congruency in Auditory Perceptual Judgments‌ This chapter is based on: Bolders A. C., Xxxxxx, S., Xxxxxxx, P. J. M., Band, G. P. H. (in preparation). Ups and Downs in Mood and Pitch: Mood Congruency in Auditory Perceptual Judgments. It is well established that people evaluate ambivalent stimuli in a mood congruent fashion. Happy moods promote positive evaluations, while sad moods promote negative evaluations. In the current study we investigated whether mood congruency effects extend beyond evaluative judgments to auditory perceptual judgments of pitch shift. To this end, we used an ambiguous pitch task in which the change in pitch between pairs of tones can be perceived both as ascending and as descending. We compared biases in pitch shift perception on this task between listeners in experimentally induced happy and sad moods. In Experiment 1, listeners in a sad mood judged the tone pairs more often as descending compared to listeners in a happy mood. However, pitch shift judgment bias was possibly confounded with a bias in response selection. Therefore in Experiment 2 we tested and controlled for response selection bias. Findings of Experiment 2 did not support an effect of mood on response selection bias but also not on pitch shift bias. When Experiment 1 and 2 were combined into one analysis to increase power, the pattern of results provided support for an effect of mood on pitch shift judgment that cannot be attributed to bias in response selection. It should however be noted that the effect of mood on pitch shift bias depended on strength of subjectively experienced mood. Thus, although generalizability of this study remains to be demonstrated, this study showed that not only evaluative judgments but also auditory perceptual judgments can be modulated in a mood congruent fa...
