Question

i desperately need brainstorming ideas for a lengthy paper that deals with emotion. basically we have to come up with an original idea for an experiment with a testable hypothesis and we write a intro/methods/predicted results/conclusion sections. we dont actually have to carry out the experiment but we need to explain from A to Z how we'd carry it out and what would be the independent / dependent variables. this is a college level paper...any ideas would be appreciated!! oh and we are to assume that our funding is unlimited

Answer 1

I am taking psychology right now--perhaps I can help you. Give me a sec and I will see what I can come up with. Any emotions or is there a set of emotions that needs to be tested

Answer 2

any emotions. also it needs to be unprecedented (an experiment that has never been done before)

Answer 3

I know that age, sex, and education would be variables that you would wish to include. Also culture could be another. And that is a toughy--not done before.....hmmm...

Answer 4

I know tha Asian and American cultures are highly different--perhaps go that route?

Answer 5

I would go with how Asian culture effects the internalization of emotions and affects physical well-being. I do not think that I have seen a study on that yet

Answer 6

Hmm okay thats a good idea! Can you think of anything more 'fun' in the sense more exciting to research? something novel like peoples' attachment to their cars , etc

Answer 7

Yes--why are the Japanese so fixated on cuteness? That could be fun

Answer 8

haha!!

Answer 9

Super Kwai that is a site online that is about cuteness

Answer 10

My daughter speaks Japanese and went to Tokoyo---cute is a cultural phenomenon there par none

Answer 12
