Question
1. Write a two-page paper (double-spaced) that discusses "How color affects one's mood" which is a topic for a larger project. In discussing the proposed research topic, define the ideas you have discovered; discuss what you know about the subject; and provide a rationale for this paper. Your rationale can discuss the importance of the topic, describe the interrelationship between concept(s), or explain what we don’t know about the topics, among other things.
Base your discussion on a minimum of TWO sources from the socioiology discipline. The sources should be books, journal articles, or other scholarly sources (No textbook citations, or periodicals such as Time Magazine, unless they help to build a description of a recent issue). Include information from the sources in your paper and cite in-text when appropriate. Make sure you include a reference page where you cite the sources you used in your proposal. Follow ASA guidelines in citing sources
At the end of your proposal, synthesize your idea down to one sentence. By reading this sentence, I should be able to ascertain the exact direction of your research.
Explanation / Answer
I cannot give you a two-page write-up on the said topic straight away as it would constitute big time plagiarism. Therefore I will give you the directions using which you could write the paper in your own language. First of all note down the major references you could use for the paper
Color, Environment, and human response by Mahnke F. (1996, New York: Van Nostrand)
The journal named "Color Research and Application" available on the online library of Wiley (ISSN 1520-6378). You can find many relevant articles in the recent editions.
Color for Architecture Today by Porter T. and Mikellides B. (2009, Abingdon, Oxon: Taylor and Francis)
These references are mentioned in no particular style at all and as mentioned in the question please convert them as per ASA guidelines. You can use citation managers for accurate referencing.
Use the above-mentioned references to construct the research proposal about, how color affects the mood. Use the established ideas on human reaction to colors such as the subconscious registration of color in the surrounding, and the human brain's reaction to it.
Every color transmits quantifiable waves that our eye records and the brain registers even without our knowledge. These events ignite particular hormonal changes which work in close connection with the nervous system. Therefore, the mood of any person has a definite connection with surrounding color. It has also been proved that the colors like red speeds up the heart pulse and raises the blood pressure, whereas the blue causes a calming effect on our nerves. However, though there are many studies on individual colors there is a common lacking in the comprehensive understanding of the effects of the color on the mood of a person. Since, almost all of our decisions, from wearing clothes, shoes, to big decisions like painting our houses or offices requires a deeper understanding of the color psychology, the above-mentioned topic needs further scrutiny.
