Velten Mood
Induction Procedure (VMIP)
Taken from the
induction of elation and depression through the
reading of structured sets of mood-statements
(Velten, 1967, disertation, University of Southern
California).
MOOD PREPARATORY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ELATION AND DEPRESSION TREATMENT SUBJECTS
CARD 1
I WILL READ EACH OF THE FOLLOWING CARDS TO MYSELF.
THEN I WILL READ EACH OF THE CARDS OUT LOUD, AND I
WON'T WORRY ABOUT THE READING ERRORS WHICH OFTEN
OCCUR IN UNFAMILIAR SITUATIONS.
CARD 2
IN THE FIRST PART OF THIS EXPERIMENT, I WILL BE
SHOWN A SERIES OF CARDS WITH STATEMENTS TYPED ON
THEM. THESE STATEMENTS REPRESENT A CERTAIN MOOD. MY
SUCCESS WILL BE LARGELY A QUESTION OF MY WILLINGNESS
TO BE RECEPTIVE AND RESPONSIVE TO THE IDEA IN EACH
STATEMENT, AND TO ALLOW EACH IDEA TO ACT UPON ME
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. THESE IDEAS ARE CALLED
SUGGESTIONS.
CARD 3
FIRST, AS EACH STATEMENT IS PLACED BEFORE ME, I WILL
SIMPLY READ IT TO MYSELF, AND THEN I WILL READ IT
ONCE OUT LOUD IN A MANNER APPROPRIATE TO ITS
INTENDED SERIOUSNESS. THEN I'LL GO OVER EACH
STATEMENT AGAIN AND AGAIN IN MY HEAD WITH THE
DETERMINATION AND WILLINGNESS TO REALLY BELIEVE IT.
I WILL EXPERIENCE EACH IDEA. I WILL CONCENTRATE MY
FULL ATTENTION ON IT. AND I WILL EXCLUDE OTHER IDEAS
WHICH ARE UNRELATED TO THE MOOD-------LIKE, "I'LL
SEE IF THIS WILL WORK."
CARD 4
I WILL ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO RESPOND TO THE FEELING
SUGGESTED BY EACH ITEM. I WILL THEN TRY TO THINK OF
MYSELF WITH AS MUCH CLARITY AND REALISM AS POSSIBLE
AS DEFINITELY BEING AND MOVING INTO THAT MOOD STATE.
I AM LETTING MYSELF BE RECEPTIVE TO THESE FEELINGS.
DIFFERENT PEOPLE MOVE INTO MOODS IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
WHATEVER INDUCES THE MOOD IN ME FASTEST AND MOST
DEEPLY IS THE BEST WAY FOR ME. SOME PEOPLE SIMPLY
REPEAT THE STATEMENTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO
THEMSELVES WITH THE INTENTION OF EXPERIENCING THEM.
CARD 5
SOME PEOPLE FIND IT NATURAL AND EASY FOR THEM TO
VISUALIZE A SCENE IN WHICH THEY HAD OR WOULD HAVE
HAD SUCH A FEELING OR THOUGHT. OR, PERHAPS SOME EASY
COMBINATION OF REPEATING THE STATEMENTS AND
IMAGINING SCENES WILL COME TO ME. VERY LIKELY, I
WILL BEGIN TO FEEL THE WAY I DO WHEN I'M IN THAT
MOOD. I WILL CONTINUE TO CONCENTRATE MY FULL
CONSCIOUSNESS ON EXPERIENCING AND RETAINING THE MOOD
AS THE EXPERIMENTER PRESENTS EACH SUGGESTION. A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WILL BE DEVOTED TO EACH
SUGGESTION. I WILL CONTINUE TO DISCIPLINE AND TRAIN
MYSELF IN INDUCING A MOOD IN MYSELF BY CONCENTRATING
MY FULL ATTENTION OF THE MOOD-STATEMENTS DURING ANY
TIME INTERVAL.
CARD 6
TO SUM UP: THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS EXPERIMENT IS
TO SEE WHETHER A PERSON CAN TALK HIMSELF INTO A
MOOD. SOME OF THESE MOOD-STATEMENTS MAY HAVE NO
RELATION TO ANYTHING I HAVE EVER THOUGHT, SAID, OR
DONE. YET, EXACTLY IN THE MANNER OF HYPNOSIS, I WILL
FIND IT QUITE EASY TO ACCEPT AND FEEL THESE
EMOTIONS. I WILL BE CONCENTRATING ON DOING SO,
RATHER THAN COMPARING EACH SINGLE STATEMENT TO MY
LIFE EXPERIENCE AND THEN DECIDING WHETHER IT APPLIES
TO ME. I WILL LET AND STRIVE TO LET THEM APPLY TO
ME. I CAN DO THIS.
CARD 7
I WILL EXPERIENCE EACH STATEMENT AS IF IT WERE
ESPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR ME. AT FIRST I MAY FEEL THE
IMPULSE TO COMPARE A SINGLE MOOD-STATEMENT TO MY
LIFE EXPERIENCE, OR TO RESIST STATEMENTS WHICH SEEM
TO BE OR ARE CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT I FEEL MYSELF TO
BE. BUT, MOST PEOPLE FEEL THIS AT FIRST. IT WILL
BECOME APPARENT TO ME THAT IF I AM ABLE TO TALK
MYSELF INTO A MOOD, THEN OBVIOUSLY I KNOW HOW TO
TALK MYSELF OUT OF ONE. IF I FIND THAT I CAN DO
THESE THINGS, THEN I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING VALUABLE
ABOUT MYSELF: I CAN LEARN TO CONTROL MY MOODS TO AN
EXTENT.
CARD 8
IF I FEEL THE URGE TO LAUGH, IT WILL PROBABLY BE
BECAUSE HUMOR IS A GOOD WAY TO COUNTERACT UNWANTED
FEELINGS------OR, IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE I AM SURPRISED
THAT I REALLY AM GOING INTO THE MOOD. I WILL TRY TO
AVOID THESE REACTIONS, HOWEVER, BY KEEPING IN MIND
THAT I HAVE THE CHANCE OF ACQUIRING EXTREMELY USEFUL
INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF AND HOW TO HELP MYSELF OUT
OF UNDESIRABLE MOODS THAT OCCUR IN EVERYDAY LIFE. IF
FOR ANY REASON I FEEL I CANNOT CONTINUE I WILL SO
INDICATE.
CARD 9
THE NEXT CARD WILL BEGIN THE SERIES OF STATEMENTS. I
WILL READ EACH TO MYSELF, THEN I WILL READ IT OUT
LOUD. THEN I WILL TRY TO EXPERIENCE THE MOOD AS WELL
AS I CAN AND CONTINUE TO DO SO AS THE EXPERIMENTER
PRESENTS THE CARDS AND I MOVE FURTHER INTO THE MOOD.
AFTER THE CARDS WILL BE A BRIEF SERIES OF SIMPLE
TASKS TO PERFORM. AND AFTER THAT, I WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO RECORD SEVERAL ASPECTS OF MY
IMPRESSIONS OF THE EXPERIMENT.
