In contrast, when participants expected to learn about only one group, judgments of intergroup and intragroup similarity were both affected by mood.

As an integral part of the prison and capital punishment, they provide stability, reliability, and the means to achieve the goals of peaceful executions. The ultimate objective of utilizing health care professionals is the sanitization of …
