Although mood and emotion are often considered distinct concepts, their precise definitions remain a matter of debate within the scientific community. In this study, we propose to assess mood in a real-life environment using a combination of physiological measures and self-assessment questionnaires. We benefit from the insights gained from our pilot study in designing the experimental protocol. In particular, regarding the selection of stimuli, we hypothesise that mood will have a greater influence on the evaluation of neutral or low-polarised stimuli on the unpleasantness/pleasantness dimension of Russell's Circumplex Model of Affect. Furthermore, we have developed a smartphone application to serve as a more reliable platform for Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs). Our experiment will involve 90 university students over a period of two weeks.

Abstract
Although mood and emotion are often considered distinct concepts, their precise definitions remain a matter of debate within the scientific community. In this study, we propose to assess mood in a real-life environment using a combination of physiological measures and self-assessment questionnaires. We benefit from the insights gained from our pilot study in designing the experimental protocol. In particular, regarding the selection of stimuli, we hypothesise that mood will have a greater influence on the evaluation of neutral or low-polarised stimuli on the unpleasantness/pleasantness dimension of Russell's Circumplex Model of Affect. Furthermore, we have developed a smartphone application to serve as a more reliable platform for Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs). Our experiment will involve 90 university students over a period of two weeks.
