Dear Reader,
When I selected a university, I took notice to the campus’ amount of spirit and willingness to support the school team. I noticed this more so at the University of Denver than any other school I had visited. This has prompted by research question; whether or not there is a correlation between how much a student likes being at their school and whether or not they show school spirit on a regular basis (in the form of attire). I believe there is, in fact, a direct relationship between someone's happiness in their school environment, and their decision to wear school spirit attire on a regular basis (regular basis meaning there is no sporting event or school event on that day).
To obtain this data, I will first be “people-watching” to see what percentage of students are wearing an article of DU clothing. As a second step, I will collect interviews from people wearing school attire and wearing regular attire to determine how happy they are with the university. Comparing and contrasting these pieces of information (the data collected from the population wearing school attire vs. the population wearing regular attire) will show either a direct correlation between happiness on campus and school spirit, or will come out inconclusive, indicating that there is not a relationship between the two.
