Designing an Experiment to Test Our Destressing Images

Made by: Yuna Wu

1. Question: What kind of shape will help people relax?
2. Hypothesis: Shapes with softer sides and less vertices (corners) and less pointy vertices will help people relax. when they see them.
3. Prediction: If I show a person a shape with a pointy vertices, and another shape without pointy vertices, then the person will feel more relaxed after seeing the latter(后者).

1. find a person
2. let them see the circle, and the shapes that have vertices
3. ask them what which shape let them feel relax, and which not
4. Show them shapes one at a time
5. after they see shapes they have to check whether they feel “the same”, “more nervous”, or “more relaxed”
6. if they check “more nervous” and “more relaxed”, they have to check on a scale of 1~5 how much they feel of those feelings
7. write down the result
