I conducted an unofficial, unauthorized, study on the effect of the position of an office chair on the mood of people when they arrive at work. I rotated several office chair 90 degrees to the left or to the right depending on the loction of the desk. For five days I rotated the chairs 90 degrees. The sixth day I move the chair in its traditional position, under the desk. The seventh day I rotated the chairs 90 degrees. The study was conducted over a two weeks time period. I conducted the study in 8 separate offices suites. I dispense a typed survey and created a blog. Follow the results.
