One by one the writers, all in analytical moods, confessed their defenses, their reasons for indulging in terrifying material.
This line of research led Andrews to conduct his own experiment, as he sought to better understand the link between negative mood and improved analytical abilities.
The tension and the ferocity of the performances match those of his earlier work, but he balances those performances — and the actors' very presences, and the divergent story lines, and the film's spaces and moods — with an analytical insight that's unusual in the realm of independent filmmaking or, for that matter, in filmmaking anywhere.
After administration of questionnaires, the remaining tasks and assessments were completed in the following order: time 1 mood ratings, self-focus manipulation (analytical or experiential), time 2 mood ratings, self-focus manipulation checks, stress test (imaginary meal – administered during both days of testing), imagery task checks, and assessment of post-stressor reactions and neutralisation.

The dynamic models also provided an analytical tool to compute the timescales of the decoded mood state.
Literature survey did not come up with a single report describing quantification of these drugs in simultaneous mood, which prompted the development of an analytical method which could analyze these drugs simultaneously.
Finally, previous studies have demonstrated that analytical and experiential manipulations have equivalent effects on self-focus, leaving mood state unchanged (e.g. Watkins & Teasdale, 2004; Watkins & Moulds, 2005) and the current study also ruled out changes in mood as a possible factor in the results.
