Jesper investigated the effect of emotional state on false memory creation. He recruited participants from a local community center using opportunity sampling.
Jesper showed his participants a slideshow of a busy market scene. In Condition A, participants listened to fast-paced, upbeat music before viewing the slideshow to induce a positive emotional state. In Condition B, participants sat in silence before viewing the slideshow. Both groups were then given a recall test containing misleading questions about items in the market scene to see if they would incorporate false details into their reports.
