Experimental variables 
emotion, perception, and contradiction

Experimental question 
Can the changing, contradictory nature of our emotionally-informed experience be made more tolerable by awareness of its shifting nature?

Experimental design 
Readers were presented with short, narrative poems relaying a vignette of experience, as perceived by the author. These poems reflected the contradictory nature of any individual’s changing perception informed by emotion.
