As with all great studies of the current era (that might be sarcasm), my methodology involved going to the one place where people are happy to help and, of course, offer their opinion. I\u2019m talking about social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I built a survey with twenty-six pictures of various weather phenomena, from wind to clouds, to storms to heat, rain, etc. From there, I asked the survey participant (the subject) to pick a word that described the emotion they associated with the image. I didn\u2019t use any word, however. I needed to define some parameters first, so I turned to my psychology education to find classifications of emotion that would work for what I wanted to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I settled on Robert Plutchik\u2019s Wheel of Emotions, which he developed in the 1980s. Plutchik attempted to classify human emotional response and grouped them into eight core or primary emotions which are bipolar in their presentation. These are: <strong>surprise<\/strong> versus <strong>anticipation<\/strong>; <strong>joy<\/strong> versus <strong>sadness<\/strong>; <strong>trust<\/strong> versus <strong>disgust<\/strong>; and <strong>anger<\/strong> versus <strong>fear<\/strong>.[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These primary emotions can be expressed at different intensities along a vector or spectrum, if you will. You can also mix one with another to form different emotions, just like a color wheel. For example, <strong>pensiveness<\/strong> and <strong>distraction<\/strong> can mix to form <strong>disapproval<\/strong>, just like <strong>interest<\/strong> and <strong>annoyance<\/strong> can mix to form <strong>aggressiveness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10097\" width=\"450\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image.png 900w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-768x778.png 768w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Plutchik&#8217;s Wheel of Emotions.[2]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many different models of emotion out there, and I won\u2019t go into all of them. But Plutchik\u2019s was useful for my little experiment on weather and emotion. Specifically, I wanted to know if there was a correlation to what one might see (or experience) and a core or primary emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My sample size was over 700, and after removing duplicates and bad data, I ended up with nearly 600 useful answers (n=580 for those who really want to know). These were then plotted on top of Plutchik\u2019s Wheel of Emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results were somewhat expected, or you could say several of my hypotheses were correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a sample question (with the photograph to go with it): What emotion pops up in your mind when you look at the picture below?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10098\" width=\"380\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1.png 760w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-1-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An image of a dust cloud.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subjects were then presented with a randomized list of thirty-two emotions, again all based on Plutchik\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choices were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ecstasy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vigilance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>grief<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>amazement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>terror<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>admiration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>joy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>anticipation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>anger<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>disgust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sadness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>surprise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>serenity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>annoyance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>boredom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pensiveness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>distraction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>apprehension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>acceptance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>optimism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>aggressiveness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>contempt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>remorse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>disapproval<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>awe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>submission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what did I learn? Well, as expected, the emotions most associated with happy-ish clouds and snow were along the spectrum of joy. With extreme weather, the emotions fell on the fear spectrum but also showed a leaning towards both the anticipation and rage spectrums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat was interesting. When shown pictures of hot days, respondents typically categorized their emotions either toward fear or more commonly toward sadness. This may have been because the pictures presented could have been interpreted as climate change, but without additional data on that, I can\u2019t be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rain was all over the place. The only emotion that wasn&#8217;t really associated with rain was trust. In fact, no element really leaned toward trust. I guess no one trusts the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a radar graph of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10099\" width=\"450\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2.png 900w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-768x777.png 768w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Weather elements mapped to Plutchik&#8217;s Wheel of Emotions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real result was this: to help you, as a writer, convey a specific emotion in your reader, you can select the weather element that best corresponds with it. Looking for love? Snow and idyllic cloud scenes work great. Looking to ramp up tension? Try heat or an extreme weather event like a tornado, thunderstorm, or hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn more in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3n6o4p1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creating Atmosphere with Atmosphere: How to Use Weather as a Literary Device<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3n6o4p1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19927\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/CAWA_ad-768x595.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[1] Plutchik, R.
