Abstract
The current study examines discrete, negative approach emotions from a cognitivefunctional
perspective to test their potential as an alternate condition for heuristic processing
under conditions of affirmative remedial certainty. A concurrent prediction for personal
relevance to serve as a source of positive bias under these conditions is also tested. An
experimental study design was conducted using a fictional issue-based message, and the results
were generally supportive of both predictions. Sadness did emerge as a potential confound for
the intended elicitation of anger in the emotion manipulation. Implications for the theoretical
models of the study, practical implications for issue-based rhetoric and potential avenues for
future research are discussed.
