Abstract:
This study investigates the correlation between different temperatures and one’s mood. The ultimate purpose of the study is to determine which temperature cold or warm is better for projecting a positive mood on humans. A major part of this study is to examine the affect that the human thermoreceptors play in determining ones mood. The behavioral mood is measured by using both warm and cold cup of coffees which was held by the participant (each in its own respective time).
The warm cup of coffee has a temperature of 45 degree Celsius and the Cold cup of coffee has a temperature of 10 degree Celsius. Participants showed different mood behaviors when holding the warm and cold cup of coffees, this was influenced by a picture which was given to them (the picture being of a random person). While holding a warm or cold cup of coffee participants had to state their views of the person being portrayed in the picture. Their response was then gathered and stored as data. The statistical data suggest when holding a warm cup of coffee the participants had a positive reaction to the person being portrayed in the picture, but when holding the cold cup of coffee they had a negative reaction towards the picture. This study validates that the human-feeling relates to the Physical nature of substances that is reflection of thermoreceptors.
