Description: This is an independent replication of a study, originally conducted by Gable & Harmon-Jones (2008) showing that positive affect high in approach motivation reduces the breadth of attention (i.e., more local than global focus).The replication will include an exact replication of Experiment 2 described in the original paper, comparing positive affect high in approach motivation with neutral affect, as well as a conceptual replication, using culturally adapted affective stimuli and comparing positive affect high in approach motivation, positive affect low in approach motivation and neutral affect within one experiment.
