By means of facial feedback, either a positive or a negative mood was induced while students were completing a course evaluation questionnaire during lectures. Results from both studies reveal that a positive mood leads to better ratings of different dimensions of lecture quality. While in Study 1 (N=109) mood was not directly controlled, Study 2 (N=64) replicates the findings of the prior study and reveals direct influences of positive and negative mood on academic course evaluation. date: 2014 date_type: published publication: Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation volume: 19 number: 4 refereed: TRUE citation: Zumbach, Jörg and Funke, Joachim (2014) Influences of mood on academic course evaluations.
