Phenomenological Psychology Research On Weather Experience

Weather is a phenomenon that people often “meet” with in daily life.Many scholars have used various methods to explore the relationship between weather and emotion,behavior and cognition,and have obtained many valuable conclusions.In recent years,more and more scholars have used big data technology to try to explore the relationship between weather and emotion.However,the use of new technologies has not deepened the psychological research on weather.This situation also prompts us to doubt the rationality of the positions and methods adopted in previous studies.In other words,traditionally,empirically and quantitatively may gradually surface and hollow the relationship between weather and emotions.In the face of this dilemma,we need to inquire about the original appearance of emotions from the fundamental level of existence,and examine how weather and emotions are directly related.Phenomenology provides us with ideas.Heidegger regards emotions as the whole of the chaos meaning submerged here,which originally belongs to the “situation”;Bollnow sees emotions as a prescriptive force that directly affects people's understanding of the world and themselves,Emphasizing the “spatial” tendency possessed by emotions;Schmitz later made this tendency a theoretical reality,and he clearly understood emotions as an abyssal “atmosphere”——it not only floats on the “felt-body” In the “area-less space” in which the “body” is located,it floats around the “body”;after him,B?hme adds “otherness” to the “atmosphere”.The appearance of the object is thus as a step forward in the presence that can “estasy” the atmosphere and reach the “body” subject in the “perceived perception”.“Weather” is one step closer to “emotion” because of the accommodation of objects;Griffero uses the category of “quasi-things” to encompass all qualitative expressions that cannot be classified as “things”,thereby providing a possibility for an ontology of atmosphere: as “quasi-things”,the “atmosphere” comes at least in part from the radiation of the “things” and “quasi-things”.Among the various kinds of radiation,the weather is the most common and important one.It is a “prototype atmosphere” that fills the space where I situated in like a realm,and at the same time,it can produce various “derivative atmosphere” as “quasi-things”.When the road was opened up emotions leading weather,we can examine the relationship between weather and emotion at experience level.Examining the emotional relationship of weather on the empirical level is equivalent to examining the appearance of weather in emotional experience.This investigation can be divided into general appearance problems and specific appearance problems.For the general appearance,our lives as Dasein are always dwellings in “landscape”.“Landscape” are accompanied by weather changes,and weather changes create “taskscapes”.Weather is both an all-encompassing space and a medium that allows travel.As a living background here,it can inadvertently flash a threat or charm;for the specific appearance problem,we take a specific weather condition——“rain” as an example to conduct an empirical investigation.In actual research,6 adults(22-30 years old,2 of them boys)were selected for in depth interviews,and the data obtained were processed by hermeneutic phenomenology to obtain the general experience structure of “rainy experience”: the sinking in the rain,walking forward in the mud,rest in the corner,the life in the corner.Subsequently,the universal structure was divided into “Behavior sequence”,“posture selection”,and “the atmosphere of rain” and discussed.
