Abstract
Literature had reported that pleasant weather conditions influenced positive social relationships and improved moods. However the direct effect of sun on compliance to a request still remains in question. Male and female passersby were asked in a street to participate in a survey. The experiment was conducted on predominantly cloudy or predominantly sunny days, but precaution was taken to control for the temperature and not to solicit participants when it rained. Passers-by complied more favorably with the survey request on the sunnier days. Positive mood induced by sun may explain such results.
