Mood has an effect on average reaction time and reaction-time temporal structure.

<p>Participants in the negative mood condition showed worse performnce than particiapnts in the neutral (t65 = 2.07, <i>p</i> = .042) and positve mood condition (t40 = 2.39, <i>p</i> = .022). Additionally, the temporal strucutre of reaction time series differed between positive—negative (t40 = 2.53, <i>p</i> = .016), Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
