The duration of effects of the Velten mood induction procedure (VMIP) and the effectiveness of a strategy for removing residual negative effects Were experimentally examined. Self-reports of mood taken immediately after the induction indicated that the VMIP successfully induced both elated and depressed moods. Depressed moods were still evident following a JO-minute waiting period; however, they were significantly improved compared to immediately postinduction. Residual negative moods were effectively removed by the reading of a subset of elation statements used during elation induction. Elevated moods induced by' the VMIP were no longer evident at the end of the 10-minute waiting period.
