Working Out & Mood Type
- What area of interest/research question do you wish to explore through a research study design? Wether or not working out triggers your mood.
- What variables or concepts are you looking to observe and/or manipulate?
Will the individual who works out be in a better mood or not.
- What type of design would best suit your research question? (Experimental, Correlational, etc)
Experimental
- What research method would you use to conduct your experiment? (Survey, case study, naturalistic observation, lab experiment, etc.)
Survey to ask individuals in what moods they find them selfs in when and when not working out. - Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find.
Individuals that work out tend to be in more positive moods.
- What might be the benefits and implications of this study? In other words, who would gain from it?
Individuals who have been working out and ones that are in bad moods.
- Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced? Was this more/less difficult than you expected? How?
One challenge is that people live different life styles resulting in different stress levels. Also, it would be tough to gather a large population that would be willing to experiment for a period of time.
