Assessed the utility of the Velten mood induction procedure over two sessions and with a reduced number of self‐statements, S s ( N = 72) read 25 or 50 statements that were elative, neutral (no. change), or depressive and completed Multiple Affect Adjective Checklists on both days. On both days, statements were found to influence significantly mood ratings, although a slight reduction in change conditions was noted. Reading a full set of statement (50) was found to have the greatest impact on mood.
