Conclusion

In conclusion to this experiment; my hypothesis that if somebody is hooked up to a pulse and GSR reader that there will be a physical response to an expressed preference, was correct. Through my experiment of doing just that I found that participants would either become more upbeat or calmer when a song identified as their favorite at the end of the experiment. The pre-experiment questionnaire did not really yield answers cohesive to the whole group except for one or two.

On occasion there were a few margins for error in my experiment such as not waiting a set amount of time between songs or taking the readings at a certain time. One participant filled out both the pre and post questionnaires after the experiment. Other than that my data is solid, the readings were taken when the number leveled out and my conclusion is valid. We do react physically when a favorite song comes on.
