This Special Issue is concerned with the effects of three
emotional states (positive affect; anxiety; and depression) on
performance. More specifically, the contributors focus on the
potential mediating effects of attention and of executive processes
of working memory. The evidence discussed suggests that anxiety and
depression both impair the executive functions of shifting and
inhibition, in part due to task-irrelevant processing (e.g.,
rumination; worry). In contrast, positive affect seems to enhance
the shifting function and does not impair the inhibition function.
The complicating role of motivational intensity is also discussed,
as are implications for future research.
