Test different saturations of colors and see how well people do in remembering their order. Perhaps people inherently remember certain colors better? Or perhaps people are better able to distinguish small changes in saturation in certain colors over another? ]]> 2019-02-13 06:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330679100 Effect of different types of background music on a person's ability to distinguish subtle differences in organic molecules adityashah108 https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330679811 Link to relevant article:

Show subject three similar looking organic molecules (perhaps cyclohexane derivatives) side by side for a very short amount of time while listening to background music. Then, show them all three molecules and ask them which one was in the middle/left/right. Do multiple trials of this. Independent variable: type of background music (vocal, nonvocal, silence)]]> 2019-02-13 06:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330679811 Effect of early class times on student happiness adityashah108 https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330686142 Link to relevant article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/07420528.2012.655868

Survey classmates regularly throughout the semester and log their happiness on a scale of 1-10. Each student's earliest class time that day is recorded.  Do class times have a significant impact on happiness? Or is it more about the content of the class itself?]]> 2019-02-13 07:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330686142 Are teams more likely to win if one of their players receives a technical foul? adityashah108 https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330687646 Link to relevant article: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Craig_Wrisberg/publication/286707757_The_athlete_life_quality_scale_Development_and_psychometric_analysis/links/56e2f37408ae1c52fafda9ec/The-athlete-life-quality-scale-Development-and-psychometric-analysis.pdf#page=33

Technical fouls are often used as a way to get a team "fired up", but are also risky since they increase the probability of a player getting ejected and give the other team a free throw. Parse through basketball-reference.com data using a scraper (likely made using Python) and visualize any trend between win% for a game and whether teams had technical fouls in that game.]]> 2019-02-13 07:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330687646 Effect of sleep on student happiness adityashah108 https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330692570 Link to relevant article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/07420528.2012.655868

Survey classmates regularly throughout the semester and log their happiness on a scale of 1-10 and how many hours they slept last night. If people sleep less, do they feel less happy? Or does being productive engender a feeling of fulfillment that although tiring, makes people happy?]]> 2019-02-13 07:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/adityashah108/k037chq5pj2/wish/330692570
