Abstract

Research findings on the relation between mood and cognitive performance are still inconclusive. In this study, there was an assumption that this relationship could be moderated by specific self-efficacy. It was posited that the positive mood of people with higher self-efficacy level would be positively correlated with their cognitive performance. This expectation was based on the idea that such people are highly motivated in what they do, because their high self-efficacy makes them anticipate success, which can maintain their positive mood. Another assumption was that low self-efficacy would be associated with low task motivation in positive mood. The results of the correlational study (N = 49) confirmed the hypothesis about the positive mood and high self-efficacy. Possible educational implications of the established relation among self-efficacy, cognitive performance and affect are discussed.
