Does the moon effect peoples moods?
The moon has no direct affect on peoples moods. However, noticing the moon does. A lot of wars and battles take place under a full moon. However, that has to do with lighting conditions. I suspect that lots of men propose under a full moon or couples enjoy romantic evenings. However, that is a result of the romanic notions which societies and cultures have given a full moon. Lost salors likely feel better under a full moon — due to it’s use in navigation, time keeping, or tidal forecasting. Being out during a full moon often increases the chance of predators — wolves, bears, etc. — seeing you. However, there is no proof that the presence of the moon affect folks directly. There is no measurable increase in crime, accidents, etc. other than the extra light might cause more people to notice criminal activities. The moons only effect on people would be light and gravity. Either is strong enough to affect us in any direct way.
