Question- What does the way you talk to peoplle affect how they act?

Hypothesis- I predict that the stricter you are the more people will listen.

Materials- Whole class P.E. Yelling

Research- Yelling usually brings people down. Makes most people mad.

Background information- When we are in football practice and the coaches want use to do something ,sometimes they yell at use and some times the encourage us. I wanted to no which one works better. Yelling usually makes people scared. Encouraging usually makes people fill better, like they can do better then what they are. Procedure-
 * 1) go to P.E.
 * 2) Tell Mrs. Rowland to help
 * 3) She yells
 * 4) Then she picks us up

Independent Variable-yelling Dependent Variable- Way the teacher talks Controlled Variable- 8th grade class

Time Spent- 9/8/090-45 min. 9/9/09-45 min. 9/10/09-45 min. 9/11/09-45 min. 11/21/09-45min. 11/23/09-45min. 1/12/09-45min. 1/24/09-45min. 2/4/09-45min. 2/16/09-45min.

__Normal__ I think they were like this because he didnt enforce anything. __Aggressive__ I think they did this because they got mad at the teacher.
 * Messing around
 * Talking while he is talking
 * He says things twice
 * Has to get strict
 * Kids leave class without permission
 * Dont pick stuff up
 * Listen better
 * Complain
 * Act better
 * No repeating
 * Argue more with teacher

Results- My hypothesis was correct. The kids listened better. They had more physical punishment so they listened.
