This is fun..not used for if correct or not, judging people’s intelligent level. The guestions proposed are those based on human responses by research/study/behavior/scientific observation..
Providing first example:
“Emotions”
Happy Spending…
When researchers gave people money to spend on either themselves or other people…
Which type of spending do you think made participants happier?
1. Spending money on themselves?
2. Spending money on someone else?
3. They were equally happy?
4. It depended on demographic
factors like age and gender?Answer: Spending money on someone else.
While we predict that spending on ourself would maximize our happiness, it turns out that this is not the case.
Researchers found that we were happier when we spend money on others. It turns out that money can buy happiness, as long as we spend it on others.First try:
In this study patrons at a pub were given 2 samples of beer to taste and evaluate. One sample regular beer, second was regular plus a few drops of balsamic vinegar- they called this the “MIT Brew.” Some participants were informed of special ingredients BEFORE they had a taste, and others were clued in AFTER tasting both samples. Some of the participants were never told of the secret ingredient.
Which group least preferred the MIT BREW?
1. Participants who never learned about secret ingredients?
2. Participants who learned about the vinegar BEFORE tasting the beers?
3. Participants who learned about the vinegar AFTER tasting the beers?
4. The participants who knew about the secret ingredient, regardless of when they found out?Have fun… remember all it is. Regardless what you may feel about this writer, still hope for thoughts and contributions. Thanks.
I will provide what research provided….

Second try:
EmotionsCrime Correlations
A large review of the revelation psychological literature found a consistent and surprising relationship between violent crime and a certain factor..
What was the factor?1. Day of week?
2. Phase of the moon?
3. Outside temperature?
4. The stock market?1 member liked this post.
Well there is so much one can buy for one’s self before one gets bored because the problem may end up in the sense that the more one spends on one’s self, the more one tends to want.. Real happiness comes in giving. or more satisfactory or lasting happiness is achieved. Not just in money but perhaps more importantly in time.

I would guess my self at Day of the week as factor. I have heard many times that ‘Monday’ is referred to as ‘suicide’ Monday as many have to go back to work and face the pressures and apparently most heart attacks happen on a Monday. Only what i’ve read in various places. Where as people are in a much better frame of mind say Friday as the weekend is upon them.

First is those who knew about the vinegar as their brains would concentrate on tasting it
Second is the moon as it effects the planet
I personally get more joy spending money on others, done it most of my life and it has never been reciprocated…
Misterq…
Made good point about day of week. Everybody starts back to work, Friday weekend…yeah! (Sadly though me personally has to work some, and holidays as well. Some fall on weekend.)
Paigey..
Agree with you..
Actually would love to challenge research on this one. When so much goes on around you, always hear media report, ah full moon out….!!! More reported crimes, victims, suicide attempts/murder/theft/rape… even shared with Ruby Red recently expression always hear. Why may apply it when people displeased with me corresponding come out for entertainment..
BUT answer research supported, “outside temperature.”
States…
The environment can cause unexpected changes in our behavior. Looking at geographical, regional, seasonal, monthly even daily variations in temperature and aggression will show a consistent relationship between these 2 factors.
Researchers suggest that this is because of what they call misattribution. People who experience increased temperature can end up attributing these feelings to other factors, such as anger-and then act on these feelings.Paigey..
Answer:
“Participants who learned about the vinegar BEFORE tasting the beers.Research:
Learning about the vinegar beforehand actually changed how the participants interpreted the taste of their beers!
Expectations can have a big influence on how we experience life.
Our judgments are not only formed by bottom-up processes (like the pure sensory experience of the beer’s taste,)but by top-down process (knowing what the secret ingredient is), which is why expectations are the spice of life.
