My final research paper topic is "Color Psychology". I would like to talk about how do colors affect people and why??? In “Emotional Reactions” (Color Psychology and Color Therapy, 1961), Birren, F. discussed that color involves in psychics in terms of moods, feelings, sounds, taste and smell which are explained by some scientists. Dr. Maria Rickers-Ovsiankina explained that people can be divided by two color aspect characters, warm for positive sides and cold for negative sides. In addition, N. A. Wells and Dr. Robert R. Ross focused on color association differences such as definitions, emotions and images. Moreover, Brighouse, G.. showed color responses human body by observing bright colors. J. P. Guilford discussed connection between psychology of color and organism. Above all, Goldstein, K. states that “Specific color stimulation is accompanied by a specific response pattern of the entire organism” (Goldstein, K., 1961, pp146-145), and he said that two categories of color lights, warm and cool, influence environments such as offices and restaurants. From different views, according to some investigators, there were a connection between color and sound, called rob and cone visions. Also, in S. V. Kravkov’s theory, sound affects color by eyes because sensibility of ears changes by spectrums. Besides, Allen, F. and Schwartz, M. argued that color affects taste and smell because there are some scientific aspects; red color increase blood pressure, and blue decrease it.
In “Neurotics and Psychotics” (Color Psychology and Color Therapy, 1961), Birren, F. stated that color connects neuron and psychology related to lights. Deutsch emphasized blood pressure is affected by color, and color affects patients a lot because of their color images and emotions. Also, he stated that all emotional reactions from active sides make blood conditions and action of feelings and emotions.

Haruna only stated the authors' opinion plainly and in an objective way, giving some useful perspective. And her summary stated that the austhors' survey on color connections with various aspects on human senses. In this way, I think she evaluated this material well, because she arrayed her summary in order to be well understood.
Furthermore, she was well prepared when she spoke of her summary in the class, and
her interest in color connection with human organs is interesting and somewhat
stimulating, giving me some provocation.

Hi, Haruna
I like your colorful blog~ and the kimono which you wore in your 20th anniversary was really beautiful.
In the class, you presented the writer’s opinions clearly in an objective way, and it showed that you grasped the material very well.
In my opinion, you evaluated the material appropriately. You arranged the contents in a reasonable way to make it easy to be understood. However, I think you need to read more pages in that book in order to explain the opinions which you presented in next few weeks. You choose a very interesting topic, and the information in your summary is quiet attractive for me such as the connection between color and sound. I’m looking forward for your presentation next time. ^_^
