Hypothesis

For the last of this unit I have to come up with a Hypothesis. I am going to base My hypotheses on the thesis topic. Last semester I had to come up with the thesis title and I had to find information base on this title to write the literature review. My chosen area was about Local orphanage and the thesis title was “the impact of interior design on the emotional wellbeing of children as applied to local orphanage.”

To come up with the Hypothesis I started asking some questions that could help me.

1. What is the feeling and atmosphere an orphanage gives you when you enter the building?
2. What developments, orphanage have done since these days?
3. What would make it a more familiar atmosphere?
4. What would interest children?
5. How could the interior space help them with their therapy?

From some research that I did these children that are taken away from their mother in a small age they could have a psychology issue so I thought what could help these children on their psychology issue. Trough research and advice from some lecturer I talked to, the children’s psychology issue can be helped by colours, patterns, natural aspect and activities held in the building.

In an article that I read by Kathy Eugster, which is MA, Counselling Psychology, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Play Therapist and Child and Family Therapist. Kathy Eugster says that children that went through a trauma, a mental health professional use the power of play Therapy. Through the counselling space, the playroom is the ideal room because its equipped with fun things that children love.

I talked to my lecturer which said that it not only could be an indoor activity, it could be an outdoor activity. 

I was thinking that my hypnotisis would be “Playroom activities helps Children feel better and improve their behaviour”

Although I wish to talk to Mr Zammit to see if I’m going in the right track.
