Why does the annoying driver blocking your way always come from some outgroup, not your own? Incidental affect irrelevant to the group (road rage) still perhaps affects the encounter. Although one might assume that people in bad moods stereotype more, which would be a straightforward valence assumption, instead different moods have distinct effects (Bodenhausen, Kramer, & Süsser, 1994; Bodenhausen, Sheppard, & Kramer, 1994). Angry moods do make people stereotype more, in accord with common sense. However, sad moods, although negative, actually make people stereotype less because they think harder. And people often stereotype more in happy moods than in neutral ones because they cannot be bothered to think hard. Chapter 14 returns to the more general influence of moods on cognition.

Groups do also elicit affect as an integral function of who they (apparently) are and the situations in which they appear. In contrast to incidental affect, different groups trigger different affective configurations as an integral feature of the encounter, according to several theories.
