Happy, calm, upset or angry? For many centuries, people have believed that the weather can affect your mood. If the weather is sunny or cloudy, then most people will feel calm, because of the well weather. My results supported my hypothesis because more than half of the people I tested felt calm and happy.
To test my hypothesis I will first, gather up to twenty or more people to volunteer in my project. Then for my first trial I will email a form to the people who are volunteering that's asks what the weather is like and what your mood is. They will fill out the form every day for a week. After a week I will than collect all the forms and combine what most people felt when the temperature was down and when the temperature was high. For my second trial I will be asking the volunteers what they usually feel on a certain weather type and temperature. After a week I will then collect all the results how most people feel on a certain weather type. My independent variable is the weather because it affects the dependent variable which is the mood.
While doing my experiment I saw that people felt calm on a sunny and cloudy day and upset on a windy and rainy day. For my first trial, people felt mostly happy and calm, yet others felt energetic. On a cloudy day, there was a mixture of people that felt happy and calm. On a windy people mostly felt upset yet others felt calm. On a rainy day people felt upset yet happy. On a snowy day there was a mixture of people feeling calm, happy and upset.
According to my results, people overall feel calm in all temperatures. I collected a total of three graphs which consisted of the amount of people who felt happy, calm, energetic, upset or angry on a sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy and snowy day. My first line graph is based on my first trial and my second graph is based on my second trial. When I collected my results, I did a line graph that had the total of trial one and two.
I felt that my project supported my hypothesis and was a success. My experimental design was simple to complete with only four steps. I was surprised that most people felt happy on a rainy day because in my opinion you can't do much on a rainy day. The only change I would make would to have more people from other states in my project. In conclusion, my experimental design led my project to a success.
