Christmas Tumblr Themes
A Daily Dose of Culture

A little blog about things that interest me in today's culture, especially focused on pop culture and East Asian cultures.

Although English is my 2nd (3rd?) language, I will try my best to get my points across in a precise and grammatically-correct way! :)

Love,
Von

I believe I am a “summer lover”! psych-facts: The Effects of Weather on Mood Depends on Whether You Are A Summer Lover, Summer Hater, or Rain Hater. Some People Are Classified as Unaffected. In the past,  Watson (2000) and Keller et al. (2005) found that weather had little to no effect on mood. However, a recent study argues that weather do have an effect, but the effect depends on whether you are a summer lover, summer hater, or rain hater or unaffected. This new study conducted by Limstra et al. (2011) surveyed the mood of 497 adolescents and parents each day across 30 days and compared the results to weather. The results found four distinct groups: Unaffected: about half the people in their study fell into this group. For these people it didn’t matter that much whether it was raining or sunny, hot or cold, their mood was mostly unaffected. Summer lovers: here’s the group you’d expect. For these people, their mood improved with less rain, more sun and higher temperatures (15% of adolescents and 30% of their mothers fell into this category). Summer haters: here’s a group of people you hear less about.  These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain, less sun and lower temperatures. Summer haters were more prevalent amongst the adolescents (27%) than their mothers (12%). Rain haters: this group’s mood didn’t change with the temperature, sunshine or the wind; they just hated the rain. These guys were in the minority, making up 8% of adolescents and 12% of their mothers. Source FaceBook Page for More!
