Positive emotions can validate either positive or negative thoughts. Previous research has demonstrated that people use their thoughts more when they recall past episodes of happiness and when they are induced to smile. This study was designed to evaluate whether a new induction of a happy mood (a joke) can influence thought use in response to a persuasive proposal. Two versions of the same joke were compared: a version that included an interruption before the punchline and another that did not include an interruption at that point. The aim was to examine whether this interruption increased or decreased the use of previously generated thoughts towards a persuasive communication. The results indicated that the participants who were interrupted before the punchline relied more on their own thoughts in forming their attitudes than did those who were in the control group. In consequence, an interruption during a pleasant experience (e.g., a joke) increased persuasion when thoughts were positive but decreased persuasion when thoughts were negative. Las emociones positivas pueden validar tanto pensamientos positivos como pensamientos negativos. La investigación previa ha demostrado que las personas utilizan más sus pensamientos después de recordar episodios felices y cuando se inducen expresiones faciales asociadas con sonrisa. Esta investigación evaluó en qué medida una nueva inducción de estado de ánimo positivo (un chiste) influye en el uso de los pensamientos generados previamente en respuesta a una propuesta persuasiva no relacionada con el chiste. Para ello, se compararon dos versiones de un mismo chiste: una versión que incluía una interrupción antes del desenlace y otra en la que no se incluía dicha interrupción en ese momento.
