In the beginning most people were in the middle range of mental health (not bad but not amazing). 97% percent of the people reported bad mental on a mental health rating scale after the 3 month period that spent a majority of their hours inside (the group that spent 23 hours inside a day). 12% reported bad mental health after the 3 months of the people who spent the majority of their day outside of the home (group who spent only 11 hours inside a day). At the end of the experiment these same people were once again evaluated and both groups had changed more than 30% either way, respectively. People who spend more time outside or change their surroundings often are proven to be happier.]]> 2020-04-22 00:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emev417/ia10zx5ysprn8ikc/wish/521679857 emev417 https://padlet.com/emev417/ia10zx5ysprn8ikc/wish/521680937 This is statistically significant because there was a higher percentage of people who reported a bad mental state after staying in their homes for a longer period of time than those who left frequently.
