Orientadora: Profª. Dra. Gabriela Borges Martins Caravela PPGCOM/UFJF Fevereiro de 2017 AGRADECIMENTOS Esse trabalho é norteado por desafios e um deles é encontrar uma forma de agradecer a minha orientadora, a professora Gabriela Borges, por todo o aprendizado ao longo desses anos. Entretanto, qualquer agradecimento feito aqui será ínfimo perto da sua importância na minha trajetória. Obrigada por em 2013, durante uma aula da especialização em Jornalismo Multiplataforma, ter me perguntado se eu gostaria de fazer mestrado e desde então ter estado ao meu lado. Obrigada pela confiança depositada em cada projeto, é sempre uma honra poder fazer parte das suas pesquisas e dos seus cronogramas que na hora parecem impossíveis de serem cumprimos, mas que no final sempre dão certo. Obrigada por toda generosidade com que conduziu não só essa dissertação, mas cada pesquisa que fizemos juntas (eu vou sentir saudades de falar no plural). Obrigada pelo incentivo e por acreditar que tudo isso seria possível desde o início. Obrigada por mostrar que o conhecimento é sempre construído com a ajuda do outro e que o aprendizado é constante. Serei sempre grata por tudo! À professora Soraya Ferreira por todo o aprendizado, carinho, abraços apertados e pelas digressões.

Cognitive Undoing 1 Running head: COGNITIVE UNDOING A Study of the Undoing Hypothesis and Cognitive Processing Melissa Falkenstern University of Mary Washington Cognitive Undoing 2 Abstract Research in the field of positive psychology has revealed many advantages of positive emotions. According to the undoing hypothesis (Fredrickson & Levenson, 1998), positive affect can undo the physiological effects of negative emotion. The present study examined whether positive emotions could undo the cognitive effects of negative emotion. A categorization task was used to measure changes in cognitive processing, as measured by reaction time and accuracy, of 69 college students who were induced into a positive, negative, or neutral affective state by viewing various film clips. The results of this study did not support the extension of the undoing hypothesis to cognitive processing. Cognitive Undoing 3 A Study of the Undoing Hypothesis and Cognitive Processing In the past, psychology has focused on mental illnesses and other factors that may contribute to discomfort and prevent individuals from fulfilling their necessary roles in life (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005).

    Jane Hall: Hello and welcome to American Forum Café, a podcast production of the School of Communication at American University in Washington DC. I'm Jane Hall, I'm an associate professor here at SOC. I teach courses on politics in the media and advanced reporting. Before coming to AU I was a journalist covering the news media for many years in New York. In my Politics in the Media class we look at the intersection of contemporary politics and media coverage, and boy are politics and the media intersecting. Colliding, actually, and influencing each other. As part of my class students have the opportunity to participate in American Forum Town Halls and one on one conversations with journalists, political strategists, politicians, and other important players. My students in Advanced Reporting also play an important role in our programs. They are interviewing other college students about our topics as well as asking our guests questions during our events. Jane Hall: Recently, Congressman Steve Cohen, Democrat from Tennessee spoke with my classes and other students at AU. What you'll hear on this episode is the recording from that event. Congressman Cohen is best known for introducing Articles of Impeachment last year against Donald Trump. With the Democrats winning a majority in the House of Representatives impeachment had become a real possibility. And Congressman Cohen is chair of an important subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee where impeachment could begin. He is playing an important role in other committees as well. He is the first Jewish Congressman from Tennessee, as well as he represents a majority black district.
