The Denton Record-Chronicle interviewed 探花楼 Psychology and Philosophy professor and chair, Shannon Scott, Ph.D., for a recent article about cloudy weather and its impact on mood.
"When spring arrives with better weather, most people have a higher mood, better memory and a broader cognitive style, especially when compared with the poorer weather in winter, studies show.
'This year, by this point, we鈥檝e typically had that weather shift,' Scott said. 鈥淪ome people may be experiencing a mismatch of what we expected to feel and what we are actually feeling.'"
