Have you ever marveled over why dogs wag their tails? We've always heard, through videos, movies, and books, that dogs wag their tails out of happiness. Yet, is that all there is to it? Dogs also seem to show other emotions than happiness, too! Even when they appear angry, afraid, or annoyed, they still wag their tails. If you're angry, it seems unlikely to represent happiness at the same time. How do domesticated dogs portray their emotions; to humans, and other dogs?

With this, I was able to develop a better topic, focusing on dog emotions in all, rather than just on the action of wagging a tail. When researching my new…

We provided participants with one of three surveys, each of which contained identical anagrams, but were written in different colors. Individuals were given surveys with either red, black, or green instructions. Because of its attribution to negative connotations, instructions in red are hypothesized to hinder the performer’s ability to solve the anagram. This means participants will correctly unscramble fewer words within the time limit when presented with a red inked survey. We also predicted…
