Did you find any association between your categorization in (1) and the results of (2)?
I did not see an association of the categorizations and the results from page 2, although looking at the colors and the categories the way I sorted them does relate to the emotions I feel with the rationale i.e. for category 1 the rationale i gave was sunset looking at the way I feel when I see those colors make sense as well as for the other rationale and the color categorization.
REFLECTION:
Looking at the color makes me more aware in of my feelings when I see them. When I think of the sunset I associate the colors with red, orange, purple, and pink. I think the sunset is beautiful (red), but I get sad and annoyed (purple and pink) that another day has come to an end. But watching the sunset makes me excited (orange). When I think of nature I think of Blue, green, yellow, and violet; hence why I had grouped them together; pensive, serenity, happy, and moody. I didn’t think of green and red as envy like the study had predicted but instead thought of colors as an individual not as a culture.
