Research: Mood and Dreams

[eXistenZ]

[b]I posted a survey in the "Research Forum". Since it's not a very attended place, I follow a suggestion and I post the questionnaire here too. Results and analysis of them (if the number of answers will be significant) will be posted in the Research forum. Here's the brief questionnaire. The hypothesis is illustrated below the questionnaire, to avoid any influence on the respondent. I didn’t opt for the polling system available, since – as you’ll see - I put different items for two different constructs to get some scale validity. If I get a good number of answers, you'll find the results and analysisi in the research forum. QUESTIONNAIRE Please think about your typical day and answer to the following items with a number from 1 (total disagreement) to 7 (total agreement): 1. Most of the time I feel happy 2. I try to find something to win boredom 3. Usually I am immersed in interesting activities 4. Most of the time I feel sad 5. I do not find activities that are really attracting Please think about your typical dreams and answer to the following items with a number from 1 (total disagreement) to 7 (total agreement): 1. My dreams are happy 2. I am eager to sleep, so I can have dreams 3. My dreams are nightmares 4. A night with no dreams is a good night 5. I do not feel any emotion in particular in my dream END OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE The research is explorative and it aims to verify any correlation between the typical mood of the daytime and the mood of the dreams. According to the results, the dream may emerge as a compensation for a bad day, for instance, or a continuation of it. eXistenZ
