To be more clear and not get confused of personalities and moods here is one of the article posted by Tami Port in the website "www.suite101.com" entitled "Difference between Personality & Mood Disorder" that explain and verify the personality and mood are not the same but has a connection.
The writer said that "Personality and mood are sometimes misinterpreted as having the same meaning. This confusion often contributes to a consequent misunderstanding of the mental disorders of personality and mood." As what I have read to this article that mood is an general thought of having positive and negative emotional feelings like being excited, happy, gloomy, assertive, cheerful and more. And personality are combined and consistent patterns of emotion, thought and behavior that make an individual unique .
My conclusion to that is temperament or personality traits are different from mood. However, personality and mood do affect one another, because people with optimistic personalities are more likely to display an upbeat or happy mood and people with pessimistic or insecure personality traits may be more likely to exhibit a depressed mood. Nevertheless, personality traits such as optimism and neuroticism predispose certain types of moods. So it is connected and related to each other.
To avoid being in a bad mood here is the article from "www.scientificamerican.com" entitled "How Your Moral Decisions are Shaped by a Bad Mood" by Travis Riddle.
It says that "moods could influence the thought process itself"
It means that mood could also be bias in our thoughts resulting in different patterns of moral thinking. That's why I learned that it affects each other also like our personality, emotions and feelings because positive moods validate accessible thoughts, and negative moods invalidate accessible thoughts. For example a person who in a positive mood are more likely to feel as though this is an acceptable behavior and negative mood has a parallel effect, it is like the opposite of negative mood.
So my advise is having and being in a good mood is the best thing to maintain the balance of having a right and good morals because being in a bad mood can turn you to a unpleasant behavior or depress.
