The Effects of Appearance and Facial Expression on Task Compliance

The purpose of our study was to analyze how dress and facial expression influences the task compliance of strangers. In order to complete our study, we went around University of Oregon, approaching strangers and asking them to take a picture of us. We compared how both casual and formal wear, and smile and no smile influenced strangers’ compliance to our request. Results of our study indicated that as a whole, formal wear resulted in strongest compliance.

Hydration

Hydration plays a vital role in an athlete’s performance. It is important because the body is mostly made up of water, and the proper balance between water and electrolytes in our bodies really determines how most of our systems function, including nerves and muscles. If the nerves and muscles are not functioning properly, the athlete cannot perform to their best ability. During this presentation we will look at a few different studies on athletes and their given sports to assess their hydration statuses.
