Music’s Effect on People’s Moods By: Abendigo McMullen
Survey • Conduct sample survey • Carefully select students that represent MHS • Survey must be representative to population • Randomly select 50 students, 7th-12th grade • Create questionnaire • Ex. What genre of music do you listen to before you participate in a sport? Why? • What music do you listen to before bed? Why?
Secondary Analysis • Look for any information previously researched • Precollected data from social scientists • Give proper credit
Field Research • Case study • What music certain cliques are interested in • Point out unique factors that don’t apply • Participant Observation • Act as a part of certain cliques • Determine their daily moods and favored music genre
Causes • Determine any causes • Ethnicity • Friends • Media • Age • Label these as variables
Variables • Independent- Mood • People listen to certain music depending on their mood • Dependent- Music • When mood changes, so does genre of music • Intervening variables • Radio or any pre-selected music
Correlation • Time spent listening to music increases or decreases • Mood changes throughout the day • Morning mood; Calm = Classical Music
Procedure • Identify - Music’s effect of peoples moods • Review Lit. – Search for any research previously done on this topic or a related one • Hypothesis- A testable statement of relationships among well-defined variables. • Think of moods as a scale. 1 being in a terrible, gloomy mood, and 10 being as happy as possible. A mood closer to one will result in a harder style music such as metal. Moods closer to 10 will result in a calmer style of music such as acoustic.
Procedure continued • Research Design- State the procedure you will take in order to collect data. • Survey or case study • Data Collection- Devise a survey for the selected group to answer. • Analyze Data- Compare surveys and look for repeating answers or connections • Conclusion- State your findings, repeat your hypothesis, and state if your hypothesis was correct
