Geoffrey B asked in Social SciencePsychology · 1 decade ago

Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind when you read the following words...?

I'm just curious, this isn't for some big experiment. Restrict each answer to a single word or phrase (you can add explanations at the end if you want but you don't have to).

I'm hoping for as many answers as I can get, and there's no right or wrong answer. Just write the first thing that comes to your head when you read the word(s). Thanks!

1. Television

2. Outdoors

3. Text Book

4. Party

5. Fun/Entertainment

6. Weekend

7. Literature

8. A Night Out

Update:

Thanks for all the responses so far; they're all great (except 1; I'm not sure what is 'immature' about wanting to know how people think, but you're entitled to the opinion!).

Keep answering if you haven't already, I'd like as many as possible (wish I could 'bump' the question up).

Thanks again!

Update 2:

'Be Happy!' (and anyone else wondering what this was for): I had a sort of debate with a friend the other day about how people react to one of the words in that list. It has been my perception that most people (50% +) think of the same basic thing when they see one of the words I listed. He disagreed, so I thought I'd put it to a test. Of course with such a small sample size it doesn't prove anything, but I had a free minute and I thought it'd be fun!

Really, I'm just curious how people think.
