Content of review 1, reviewed on October 31, 2021

Abstract: - The method section on the abstract is deficient. The research method (research design), the number of the samples, and the way of the sample selecting are needed to express. - The statistical methods and the significant level are needed as well. - On the results section, it is needed to refer to p-value for mentioned results.

Method: - The statements about validity and reliability of the instruments (1- Present Mood States List or LEAP, 2- the list of words with neutral, positive and negative valence) and also tasks (VE and VI tasks) should be noticed.

Limitation: - Why did the author(s) use the list of words with 15 words each in two moments when they know in Baddeley et al.'s (2012) experiments, the list of words had 30 words each and was presented directly after the mood induction? Given, it is interesting that the author(s) state and know the time interval between the mood procedure and list presentation with fewer items to evaluate could have weakened the magnitude of this task to detect mood fluctuations. - In line 37, the phrase “if this were the case” is wrong grammatically. “…This was…” seems be true.
