This is a very Broad Question :). However, there are a lot of studies about "mood as Information", that influences our judging and cognition in general. I have the following puplications from a lecture in social psychology, but to be honest i haven´t read them by my own.

Do experiments exist that show that reasoning is [or isn't] highly biased by emotions?

I'm looking for experiments showing that people perceive a situation differently depending on how they feel about the circumstances - for example, you estimate your chances of winning in a chess game lower than they are once you've lost the queen.
