Musical feelings

Hypothesis:

            Teenagers from Early College High School mostly agree that music as an effect on how you feel.  When a person is listening to any kind of music genre their emotions can be classified. I believe this does show how you feel because famous singers put emotions into the music while their followers might do the same.  This will show what  a person feels while listening to music.

Context:

            I conducted research by doing a survey on the teen emotion classification based on the type of music genre.  Both music and emotions both have an effect on each other.  Based the survey, most teenagers listen to music when they're in a particular mood which shows it.  With this in mind this will begin to show data for my upcoming data for the charts.  My survey was directed to the teen population which shows in studies that teens have more emotional problems than adults and children.   Musics that have an effect on them the most so far are pop, hip-hop, rap, and hardcore.  Using this information I have found it will be great use for my research.

Results:

Data Analysis:

Most students who go to ECHS believe that music can really show how you feel based on the music genre you are listening.

During the survey, students claim that emotions can be classified based on the types of music a person is listening to.  For example one question from my survey was, when you listen to hip hop what mood do you feel most.  Majority of the male and female population said that they feel energetic and have full of energy.  Another example is that when the males listen to rap some feel anger based on from just having a bad day.

Both the male and female populations have the same taste in music but have different emotions towards the type of music genre.

The survey showed what kind of emotions a person felt before they listened to the certain type of music genre.  When the day is going good for either a male or female they feel happy and later they claimed listening to either pop or hip-hop.  Base on that music can really prove what a person feels.  Valuable information like this can really prove that a good day can help build a teens image.

Having music shows an increase in academic studies

Using another survey technique that was verbal I manage to get information about teens having a good day listening to music.  When teens get home they start their homework while listening to music and the next day they perform better on assignments.  Music helps stimulate the brain waves making it a lot easier for data to stay in your mind.  When a teen is in a bad mood but don't listen to an energetic type then they seem to perform poorly when it comes to assignments.

Conclusion:

Both music and emotions have an effect on each other.  Teenagers agree that music can show what your feeling based on the music genre.  Studies still show that this still can be proven through further studies.

Follow up:

More data needs to be collected.  I will give out more surveys for peoples honest opinions about the subject.  When I review the data, I will compare it to the last survey that was given out to teenager and see if there is a change of the pattern.
