You will need to research to find relevant sources to help you explore your essay's topic. For this blog post, find two sources that you could use in your essay (following the steps below), and write a brief summary of each source along with the source's title and author. NOTE: These searches will work most effectively on a school computer, so try to do these searches on campus and not from home. You can still do them from your home network, but you'll need to repeatedly enter your CSUB ID and password, and the connection will be much slower.

Go to the Walter Stiern Library e-brary page.
Use the search terms to find a book. For example, when I search "color AND psychology," the results list almost 40,000 different e-books I could use. If this were my search, I would find a promising book, skim the chapters, and see if it would be relevant for my topic. Find one such e-book that you could use in your essay, and write a brief summary/overview of the book along with the author and title.

One of the books I found to be useful for the Academic Analysis essay is Living color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color (1) by Jablonski and Nina G. This book is divided into two parts. First, Biology of skin color that discusses how skin gets its color, how the pigments involved in this concept and ultimately the role evolution plays in skin color. Second, how skin colors are perceived by society. Part one, Biology, focuses on how certain behavioral changes result in different colors seen on our body such as people blush red when angry or embarrassed and become colorless/pale when scared or anxious- result of vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
ReplyDeleteOne article that I can use for the Academic Analysis essay is “Color Sensitivity and Mood Disorders: Biology or Metaphor?” by Christina et al. This article discusses the pilot study that was done to prove the connection between mood disorders and color sensitivity. The conclusion of this study is that color sensitivity is significantly correlated with depression. Colors can therefore, be used in diagnosis of certain diseases.
These sound like great sources!
DeleteI also found the same book useful as Rupinder. The book is Living color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color , by Jablonski and Nina G, which is a book about the social and biological aspects of skin pigmentation. The book is broken up into two parts. The first part focusing on the biological mechanics skin pigmentation and the second being what our society has to say about the different colors of skin we see in humans. I think this book would help tie what i want to talk about in biology to color, such as the different forms of melanocytes and what colors they are associated with.
ReplyDeleteThe article that i found useful is called Flower color influences insect visitation in alpine New Zealand by Diane R. Campbell, Mascha Bischoff, Janice M. Lord and Alastair W. Robertson. this article is about how different insects where tested to see if insects have a preference for flower color. it showed that if a flower was to have a certain type of melanocyte that it would more than likely be pollinated more and thus insuring its survival.

Nice work. These sources sound great.

ReplyDeleteI decided to use Design Elements by Sherin Aaris for the Academic Analysis essay. After scheming through the chapters, I found this book would be perfect for my paper because it talks about of color plays a role in an organization product selection and the meaning and emotion behind it. I also decide to use the article by the name of “How Images and Color in Business Plans Influence Venture Investment Screening Decisions by Richard Chain” Because it talks about how certain colors in business influence an investment decision. For example, how the color red, blue and green may influence an individual in a business decision either positive or negative effect.

ReplyDeleteOne of the books I found useful for my topic on the essay was by Lisa Daly and the book was "Loose Parts: Inspiring Play in Young Children." Chapter two of this book was the most useful because it talks about color and how colors are used to help children control their emotions. The book also talks about how children use color as a means for defining and organizing their world. Furthermore, the book uses color to represent feelings and emotions which is great because this ties into the topic of my paper. I had selected the colors yellow, green, and red for its uses but the book also discusses how yellow and red are primary colors that could be mixed to make other colors, I found this interesting because I could use this as a form of students telling me how they feel and if they have mixed emotions. For instance, if a student feels sad and mad they could use the colors indicated and mix them together to get a new color and this will then represent how they feel. Overall, chapter two of this book was very helpful in terms of my academic analysis paper.

One of the articles I found helpful was "Color Perception in Children with Autism" by Anna Franklin and colleagues. In this article it asserts how color can help children with autism and their ability to control. Also, it talked about how it could help improve their memory in some form. I could use this article to help support how color helps children and their daily lives. This article provides research on experiments they conducted with children with autism and the effects color had on them. I could use this article to help support my claim in how color benefits children specifically special needs students.

ReplyDeleteI found the book “Eye and Vision Research Developments: Color: Ontological Status and Epistemic Role: Ontological Status and Epistemic Role” by Anna Storozhuk. She discusses the impact of color on humans. Storozhuk explains that all color signals the brain, color has an impact on our emotion. The emotion causes us to react to the color we are seeing. For example color and high brightness excites the body.

I found the article “Extending color psychology to the personality realm: Interpersonal hostility varies by red preferences and perceptual biases” by Fetterman, Liu, and Robinson on color psychology. In their article they test the color red across four groups and found that there in hostile social situations there is a preference for red. They also found that in hostile social situation individuals notice the color more than others, and there is a relationship between hostile situations and the color red.

ReplyDeleteRobert Solomon in “True to Our Feelings: What Our Emotions Are Really Telling Us,” tell us how the heart has its reason which its reason doesn’t understand. We should explore this wisdom of the heart and pursue a new way thinking about emotions and our life in general. Our emotion’s interest or attract us, who we love, what angers us, what moves us, what bores us- all of this defines us, gives us character, creates who we are. Our emotions are irrational and interrupt or disturb our lives.

R. D’Andrade in “The Colors of Emotion,” tells us how a group of college students organized an experiment on the meaning of colors with people’s mood. They state which color term best matched each of a set of "mood" terms. They found that red went with exciting, yellow with playful, green with tender, and blue with sad. One of the ways this test was done was by asking a group of volunteers to select from a set of color chips, the chip which best corresponds to a particular emotion term.

ReplyDeleteIn the book, The Color of Crime : Racial Hoaxes, White Fear, Black Protectionism, Police Harassment, and Other Macroaggressions by the author Russell Katheryn K explains how color/race of individuals is highly affected in the criminal justice system. The author mentions that the main three colors that play a huge role in the criminal justice are Blacks, Whites, and Browns, which is defining races. Also, the author explains how each color/race are all view differently, and how law enforcement defines the type of criminal behavior they may be committing. For example, law enforcement view African Americans as being gang members and rappers due to their color. The author discusses how the color of the race plays a huge role in how law enforcement approaches them differently too.

In the article, US Department of Justice: Twenty-six Alleged Bloods Gang Members and Associated Indicted on Federal Racketeering, Firearms and Narcotics Charges by an Anonymous author discusses that the gang called “Bloods” is a huge threat to society and law enforcement. I find this article to be useful to my essay because the main color of the gang “Bloods” is red and red is a color that refers to violence, which law enforcement is aware of this dangerous color. Also, in the article, the author mentions that the criminal justice system is not going to tolerate any more criminal violent behavior, especially the gang “Bloods”.

ReplyDeleteThe book that I found: Color, Environment, and Human Response An Interdisciplinary Understanding of Color and its Use as a Beneficial Element in the Design of the Architectural Environment by Frank H. Mahnke
This book dedicates a whole chapter, chapter 14, on schools. This chapter discusses not only color but also what color can enable. The author says that more than anything, children need to feel secure in their schools and the school’s layout and paint should reflect that. The end of the chapter also follows with experiments done in schools and what they concluded from these specific experiments.

The wrong environment can create confusion and distress, while the right environment is likely to promote the emotional wellbeing and independence of that person. The impact on a person living with dementia can be positive: for instance, the use of colour and contrast can be really helpful for people with dementia, but heavily patterned fabric or wallpaper can be confusing. By paying attention to detail, and implementing simple changes, it is possible for care homes to create more dementia-friendly physical environment possibilities.

ReplyDeleteThe book I chose is Justice in America: The Separate Realities of Blacks and Whites by Jon Hurwitz and Mark Peffley. The authors drawing on date from a nation-wide survey of both white and blacks infer that both sides inhabit two different perceptual worlds. The criminal Justice system has always seemed to favor those of the color white than blacks. By favoring one over the other the criminal justice system has creating two different worlds for blacks and whites. Black in the criminal justice system is associated with frequent contacts with law enforcement, more arrests, and more incarceration than whites.

One of the articles I found useful is “Skin Color and the Criminal Justice System: Beyond Black‐White Disparities in Sentencing” by Traci Burch. The article analyzes sentencing outcomes for black and white men in Georgia. Aside from the crime, the color of your skin can determine whether you will get a heavier sentence. The article analyzes that if crime, socio-economic status, and first time offenders are controlled variables the color of your skin determines one’s fate. The disparities in sentencing is a problem that has been going on for centuries in our criminal justice system. Justice does not prevail in our court system instead color prevails. Being white has higher chances of avoiding harsher sentences. While the color black is almost certain for punishment.

ReplyDeleteTh book, "Loose parts: Inspiring Play in Young Children" by Lisa Daly mentions how color can be used to express feelings and emotions. For example, it states yellow ribbons representing happy and warm. Connecting colors with children is effective for them to express their feelings or to identify an idea or object.

I selected "Children's Choice: Color Associations in Children's Safety Sign Design" by Kin Wai Michael. I found this article interesting because it states how colors can be used for safety or to alert a situation. For instance, a yellow sign can be used to show that there is construction. These are important signs that students should be aware because it's part of their every day life as they head to school or any other places.
For my first source i found is "Speaking of Colors and Odors" by Martina Plumacher and Peter Holz. They mention the differences between colors and elegance and the understanding of expressions.
ReplyDeleteThe article source i found is Vivid colors captured undivided attention in the classroom: University Wire. In this article it talks about how color impacts the brain in different ways. In life color play an important role and it can be powerful.
During my search for e-books, I found a book that is not specifically for the classroom. However, I feel much of what is spoken about can be brought into the classroom with my students and how to bring topics into the class. The e-book is called, "Speaking of Color and Odors". The author Martina Plumacher explains how color recognition comes from psychophysics, I believe being able to use the color recognition to help coordinate not just good and bad behavior in the classroom, but the way my students can classify certain items in not only ELA but math as well.
ReplyDeleteIn the online article I found, author Kate Zernike's thoughts on how classroom setup and color coordination relate to what I feel could be major learning difference for many children in the classroom. In her article " The Feng Shui of Schools" Zernike describes how certain colors within the classroom help relax students and even stimulate brain activity. My personal thoughts were that many color coordination within the classroom helps memorization for students, however Zernike's article helps me further my knowledge how color within the classroom does so much more.
I chose a book called "The Color of Crime: Racial Hoaxes, White Fear, Black Protectionism, Police Harassment, and other Macro-aggressions" by Katheryn Russell. She explains how the media and television portrays blackness and black people. She always talks about how the black male image is tarnished by the media and the news and how the criminal justice system as a whole, view black people because of it. In the first chapter, it takes about how being black is views in the eyes of a white man. This book also talks about how white crime is seen as no threat but black on black crime is flooded in the media.
ReplyDeleteThere is an article called “Skin Color and the Criminal Justice System: Beyond Black-White Disparities in Sentencing” by Traci Burch. She talks about how blacks only represent about twelve percent in America but hold about thirty-six percent in the prison system. She also talks about how blacks get higher sentencing compared to their white counterparts. She also talks about how socioeconomics plays a huge role in how there is a difference between whites and blacks getting locked up.

It also examines how color is able to make certain products and services within a company standout.
In Dagget's article, "Color in an optimum learning environment," he explains how color in the classroom is essential for the best learning for students. He focuses on the physiological and psychological effects color has on children specifically, and how it can vary depending on age, culture, and gender.
ReplyDeleteIn Gaines and Curry's article, "The Inclusive Classroom: The Effects of Color on Learning and Behavior," they write about the importance of color in the classroom focusing on physiological and psychological effects on the students as well as disabled students integrated into the classroom. This article also includes a chart of every color with its psychological and physiological effects to show a clearer understanding. They conclude by arguing that teachers should focus more on the functional aspects of color rather than aesthetics to provide students with the best academic learning.
