Mood is a persistent emotional state that colors all thoughts for a period of time. As mood can greatly influence all thoughts it is useful to be able to identify your own mood and the mood of others. For example, if you are able to see that your thoughts are being colored by your mood you might not take them as seriously. Similarly, being able to detect the mood of others can be helpful in predicting and responding to their behavior. For example, giving someone room when they are in a negative mood. Mood is also a term for a literary device that involves setting a general atmosphere in a story that may change as the story progresses. The following are common types of mood.
