...Color Psychology Paper Research Question: How does color affect one’s mood? Review of Literature: Colors may just seem simple and unimportant, but they affect our daily lives more than we may know. If someone is feeling angry, it could just be because they’re angry, or it could be perhaps that they are surrounded by or looking at the color red. That’s right! People’s moods can change just because they are looking at different colors! There are many theories on how just a simple color can change one’s whole mood. According to Johnson (2007), color does affect mood by producing certain chemicals and stimulating different feelings such as hunger. For example, blue can make one feel calm because it releases calming chemicals, and red can make one hungry because it is an appetite stimulant. Yellow can make one feel irritated, and it is a fact that people lose their temper most in yellow rooms. However, pink is tranquilizing and can make one feel weak. In conclusion, Johnson says that depending on the color, one’s body can do things (like producing chemicals) that cause a certain emotional reaction (mad, sad, etc.). Another idea, by Smith (2007), is that the effect color produces is based on what one’s body does in response. For example, yellow is mentally stimulating, and activates memory, whereas red increases confidence. Also, brown can make a person feel orderly and stable, while a dark blue can make one feel sad. Therefore, Smith says that different colors do in fact change...

...NOVEL PHYSIOTHERAPY APPROACH Name Class Professor University/Institution City, State Date Introduction Smith et al. (2012) explored the importance of the Blue prescription to inducing physical activity among people with multiple sclerosis. Although, the title of the study appears long, it is complete and accurate. Specifically, the title implies that the qualitative study was conducted on the participants after they received medical help in order to determine their perceptions of the Blue prescription as an intervention for enhancing levels of physical activity. Study Abstract An abstract refers to a brief summary of a concluded research. A proper abstract inspires the reader to scan through the research purposely to learn more about what the investigation was all about.

...It is not the actual states that put the “United” in the United States; it is the people of America that put the “United” in the United States. Through a well-organized essay, “One Nation, Slightly Divisible,” David Brooks describes the diverse ways of life between Republicans and Democrats. Brooks effectively uses strong nonbiased points to assist the reader in agreeing and understanding his every thought. This allows Brooks to easily reach his intended audience- anyone interested in the diverse ways of life between Republicans and Democrats. America is a united nation despite the differences between people and their culture. This idea of one united nation, that is slightly divisible, is portrayed effectively through Brooks’s essay. “One Nation, Slightly Divisible” has a title that directly introduces the topic of the essay. The organization throughout Brooks’s essay is clear and all of his ideas are well thought out. “One Nation, Slightly Divisible” begins with a short excerpt about Brooks’s background, giving the reader the ability to know Brooks on a more personal level and understand where his experiences are coming from. Brooks uses a gripping first sentence that makes the reader want to read more. This first sentence states, “Sixty-five miles from where I am writing this sentence is a place with no Starbucks, no Pottery Barn, no Borders or Barnes & Noble” (487). This is an effective way of drawing the reader in because it makes the reader think about where Brooks...

...info/language-and-mind/does-language-reflectaffect-thought.html Beyond Blogspot statement: My abstract is definitely beyond the Blogspot. In the Blogspot, the author discussed the controversial question “does language effect/reflect thought” by mentioning a few research results that are in favour of the Whorf hypothesis, but also pointing out that the language pattern/structure does not affect how people perceive an event. In my opinion, thoughts are always being expressed by language, therefore it is much harder to figure out the relationship between language and thoughts because they are too closely link to each other. Therefore, I decide to investigate the relationship between language and perception. Perception, in my point of view, is more intuitional and can be separated from language more easily than thoughts. In my abstract, I will display 4 evidences that show the effect of language on perceptions. Research Plan: My research question is “does language affect perception”. The sources I am planning to use are evidences/examples of how language influences on people’s perceptions (such as perception of colour, phonetic, appreciations and etc.) My tentative answer to this question is “yes, language does have effect on perceptions”. I will use the research results from the studies that I cited to show that language does affect people’s perception of the world. A short statement about my references: The following Sources are referred in my abstracts 1. Linguistic experience alter phonetic...

...Naughton CWR4B M Baptiste MWF 2-3p Native American Music: A Root of Contemporary Music Yet Explored What is Native American Music? As our class brainstormed ideas for research, I already knew what topic I wanted to explore. Having been a musician, closely involved with music my entire life, I directed my focus toward Native American music. Before I began to develop any sort of directed, narrowed research questions, I asked myself first, “What is Native American music?” Regarding various definitions of the so-called “genre,” I discovered that Native American music shouldn’t be typified into any genre or defined style of music. It was the perspective toward music that was unique to Native peoples, and this perspective is key in understanding the Native American influence on later creations of music. Definition and Philosophy Native peoples tend to view their music in a distinctly different way from Euro-Americans. To Natives, music is thought; music appeared to be particularly inclusive into Native Americans’ way of life, and is unique in its origin, meaning, and efficacy. To ask “what is Native American music?” would be a question foreign to Native Americans, especially during the time that Native American music was first discovered. One aspect of music specific to indigenous peoples is its place in daily life. In fact, “its place in human affairs are much more significant to Indians than its mode of construction or technical character.” (Native American Music,...

...new information, they updated their agents believes as described by the Bayes law. Besides, with their beliefs, managers and agents made decisions that are acceptable because they are consistent with the Savage idea of Subjective Expected Utility. This traditional approach was viewed as successful if it received data backing. However, as markets became complicated, it became clear that basic acts involving the stock market, the average returns and peoples trading behaviours could not be comprehended in the traditional model. The behavioural finance is the new approach to the emerging financial markets as it addressed the challenges faced by the traditional paradigms. The basic argument of this paradigm is that some financial phenomena can be best can be best comprehended by the use of the models in which some agents do not have the full rational status. Furthermore, behavioural finance analyses the end results of relaxing one or both tenets that are applicable in individual’s rationality. This paper will be based on the research by Massey and Wu (2005), it will use their approaches in the insurance scenario where the two different Domains to imitate the...

Only when all employees realize their job is to create, serve, and satisfy customers does the company become an effective marketer” (Keller & Kotler, 2012). Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scotch Whisky owned by Diageo and originated in Ayrshire, Scotland. They came up with, what they thought was, a great commercial. To market their famous Johnny Walker Blue Label Whisky to the Asian customers, they decided to use a animation of Bruce Lee in the commercials. First, Bruce Lee was famous for not ever drinking any type of alcohol. This commercial shows them drinking Johnny Walker Blue Label Whisky. This upset Chinese people as you could imagine. I this same commercial, they showed Bruce Lee speaking Putonghua. Bruce Lee spoke Cantonese. As you could imagine, this too upset many of the Chinese people that saw this commercial. After a huge backlash from several different agencies on behalf of Bruce Lees family and some Chinese people, Diageo quickly pulled the...

Avian Ecology is a classic study to see if birds segregate themselves by habitat and food. Although there are many field methods available for conducting avian ecological research; bird counts are a good way to estimate population size, detect changes in population size or species diversity, and determine the cause of the changes in environmental or habitat and plenty of data and research is collected. I will also analyze what type of environment theses birds like to be in and how do they function in certain areas as well as the type of food these birds like and dislike. I will be collecting my data and research in Bay St Louis, MS. This area has a lot of birds and a great place for doing research on the studies of birds. Since this time our research has to be...

The three discussion questions to be answered are: • Develop the management-research question hierarchy through investigative questions for this project. • Using the research process model (Exhibit 4– 1), describe and evaluate the research design of this project. • Describe and evaluate the sampling design for this project. From Model T’s to Web Sites Kelly Blue Book (K BB) began life in 1918 as Kelly Kar Company with three Ford model T’s for sale in an open lot in Los Angeles, California. By 1926 the company had grown and though to larger sites. Les Kelley, the founder, started distributing a list of automobiles that he wanted to purchase the other dealers, along with the prices that he would pay. Other dealers began to request a list for their own use because they trusted Kelley’s judgment on used car prices. By 1926 the list had been expanded to include all the cars and metamorphic into the first Blue Book of Motor Car Values. Meanwhile, Kelley’s used-car dealership had gone from one employee, his brother, Buster, to an employer of over 100 people, on its way to becoming the largest used car leadership in the world.
