The study, authored by psychology professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales, showed that people in a negative mood were more critical of, and paid more attention to, their surroundings than happier people, who were more likely to believe anything they were told.

"Our research suggests that sadness … promotes information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations."
