The Relationship between the Levels of Perspiration (Sweating) on Confidence Level and Productivity of Students Who Live in Bangkok

Sweating is a physiological mechanism whose function is to cool the body down, but nowadays, it may seem problematic in socializing and working settings, mainly due to stains, odor, and other discomforting sensations that can affect confidence and productivity. This study aims to determine how sweating can impact confidence and productivity levels for students in Bangkok. Based on a comprehensive literature review by 2 experts, an online survey was distributed to students (school, college, university) across Bangkok; the respondents were asked to answer 3 sets of questions about their perspectives on sweat. 345 students (173 male, 162 female, and 10 others) comprised the sample group for this study to observe the correlation between the 2 variables by implementing statistics software. As a result, we discovered a highly significant correlation between sweat levels and productivity with a p-value of 0.010. Our data also show a correlation between gender and confidence; between confidence and age, and between productivity and confidence. However, there was no significant correlation between sweat and confidence.
