The purpose of our experiment is to see how naturally occurring weather conditions have positive and adverse effects on people's mood and behavioral actions. In the U.S.A alone neuropharmacologist produced medications are one of our largest industries generating $22 billion each year on mood elevating and performance enhancing medications, but our research will show how weather's atmospheric effects can also help benifit human mood without expensive medications. We fathomed up the idea when it had become cognizant to us that weather can effect ones mood in the winter time when people seem more depressed. On the contrary people can also experience mood change in summer when we seem more joyful. This raised many questions and fueled our courosity to find out why mood can so drastically change. Through research we found variables to test such as the Pineal gland produces less melatonin the sleep hormone because sunlight greatly ceases its production, with less melatonin you are less lethargic and more productive. In the winter the opposite transpires accounting for tiredness and increased depression. Studies conducted in Germany in the 2008 on 1,233 woman showed evidence that winter could make people more depressed (Colihan, 2012) In the winter time you are more lethargic because melatonin production is more prominent when sunlight ceases its production more. (MNS Healthy living) Also sunlight supplies us with vitamin D which is essential for making phosphate and calcium. It has also been suggested that higher temperature makes you less agitated but humidity increases fatigue. We hope to apply these same ideas to our experiment seeing how the subjects mood has changed. Soon we will have a definitive a answer.
 * Purpose:**


 * Abstract:** In our experiment we have concluded that weather does in fact effect human mood. Our test had a conclusive answer showing that our participants preformed better under warmer climate, bright conditions, and little humitity. They all agreed that they bore a more positive attitude under these conditions and are more productive.

Attitude test

 * Procedure:**

=
In are experiment we have created a survey in which ask numerous different questions correlating to the subjects mood. The questions are about what emotion or attitude was prevalent at the time when the current weather conditions presented in the question effected their mood. Even if it is impossible for us to situate the test subject in the appropriate weather or simulate it they can still answer the questions from their memory about how that weather had effected them at one point to collect the data.======

The data of our experiment shows what weather condition prevalent would most likely help enhance positive mood and performance. Based on our test results it appears that humans are most possitive under warm, bright, moist, and green weather conditions. Are hypothesis for weathers effect on mood was correct almost all the test subjects agreed they are more possitive under such conditions. We also thought that during day when large quantities of light are prevalent and warm weathers would help peoples productivity. The results proved this to be correct. Are test subjects all agreed that they have been more productive and hardworking during these conditions. We now have proven are hypothesis correct through our test and know the effects that weather can have on mood.
 * Analysis:**


 * Conclusion:** It appears that weather does in fact have a great impact on a person mood and behavior. When our test subjects ruminated to different weather conditions they were subjected the test results proved a definitive answer to the experiment. We have proven that an environment in which people is situated can have a great impact on their lives.


 * Limitations:**


 * Mechanical-** The test in which the subjects were subjected to may have contained questions in which were not easily understood or filled out wrong. We could revise the survey to make it more understandable.


 * Human-** The test subjected may have had a different variable affecting their mood and behavior. To test subjects who are not agitated or nervous to havev more conclusive evidence.


 * Environmental-** The area where the subjects may have taken the test may have been distracting changing their answer. Give them the survey in a less distracting environment.

How are you going to test if someone has an attitude or not. (bchave) How warm does it have to be for someone's attitude to change? We have to conduct our experiments in the winter time too. -Chloe` White (If in fact their attitude does change how will you judge your conclusion based on different people's preferences. If i enjoyed the cold more then the warmth then maybe my attitude would be different then someone who likes the heat more.) Tim Cook Does where the person lives matter? Such as if someone lives in Alaska and someone lives in Hawaii their preference might be completely different. Michael LaHood Check you spelling. Corinne Zimmerman if you only change the heat, how will you test it? (Noah Belsly) 1/10/12
