Abstract

This study examined the influence of being outside on memory and mood. After reporting mood, college students studied a list of words, were randomly assigned to take a walk (indoor/outdoor), and then reported mood and recalled words. Unfortunately, our hypotheses were not supported; discussion will address limitations and future research.
