Mood-Congruency Effect:

Mood-congruency effect, also called mood-congruent memory, is matching thoughts and emotions with action, describing how we recall a memory in more detail if it coincides with our mood at the current time. When in a good mood with a positive outlook, we remember positive information more effectively than when we’re in a bad mood. Conversely, when we’re feeling sad or angry, we recall the negative situation more readily. It’s not a mental disorder but a severe psychiatric condition. Someone with bipolar disorder is mood congruent if they’re hyperactive and distracted during mania. Mood-congruent memory is a regular feature of daily life — like reviewing a restaurant positively after receiving a meal as ordered.
