affect mood

Affect and mood during driving: the driver's general emotional tone and valence — positive and negative affect, transient mood states, and their broad influence on attention, risk appraisal, and decision making (PANAS, valence/arousal, incidental mood effects). The general-emotion construct, distinct from anger_road_rage (a specific hostile emotion), anxiety_depression_driving (clinical/symptom-level mental health), stress_driving (workload/demand strain), and music_audio_mood (mood as induced by audio); affect_mood is mood as a broad state, whatever its source.
