Specifically, we examined the affects of fear and production pacing on participant’s memory of visual and audio content of televised public service announcements. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two emotional context conditions. Immediately after viewing the context stimuli, they viewed a sequence of three PSAs, with one at each of three production pacing levels: slow, medium, and fast. Results were mixed. As predicted, memory sensitivity declined and criterion bias became more liberal as production pacing increased. However, emotional context neither affected memory sensitivity, nor judgment criterion. There was also a significant interaction between emotional state and memory sensitivity, though. Limitations and future research considerations are discussed. 2010-09-09 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1276636393 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1276636393 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
