Abstract
목적: 본 연구에서는 종이책 독서 시 바탕색에 따른 읽기속도와 순목횟수의 변화를 측정하고 이들의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 본 연구목적에 동의하고 안질환 및 안과적 수술경험이 없으며, 양안시가 가능한 성인 29명(남10, 여19)의 대상에게 백색, 적색, 녹색 및 청색바탕에 검은색 글씨로 구성되어 있는 소설을 각각 15분 동안 읽게 하였다. 독서 시 장당 읽기속도와 순목횟수를 측정하고 각 바탕색 별로 분석하였다. 결과: 바탕색에 따른 장당 읽기속도는 백색과 녹색바탕에서는 독서시간이 경과함에 따라 빨라지는 경향을 보였으나, 청색바탕에서는 거의 변화가 없었으며, 적색바탕에서는 오히려 느려짐을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 장당 순목횟수는 모든 바탕색에서 독서시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나 적색바탕에서의 감소가 가장 적었다. 모든 바탕색에서 순목횟수가 감소할수록 읽기속도는 증가하는 상관관계를 보였으며, 녹색바탕의 경우 가장 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결론: 본 연구결과 동일한 조절 및 폭주요구량을 가지는 거리에서의 독서 시 순목횟수가 감소할수록 읽기속도는 빨라지는 상관관계를 가짐을 확인하였으나 주 파장에 따라 순목횟수와 읽기속도의 변화는 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 이는 근업 시 주 파장의 차이에 따라 작업의 속도와 시각피로도가 달라질 수 있음을 의미하므로 요구되는 인지의 종류에 따라 작업환경과 조건의 조정이 이루어져야 함을 제안할 수 있다. Purpose: The current study was performed to estimate the changes in reading speed and blinking rate according to different background colors when reading paper book and further investigate their correlation. Methods: Twenty-nine adults (10 males, 19 females) who consented to the present study and had no ocular disease, ocular surgery history showing normal binocular vision were participated into the study. The subjects were asked to read the novels with black letter printed on white, red, green and blue background for 15 min, respectively. Then, the reading speed per page and blinking rate per page were measured during reading and analyzed according to background colors. Results: Reading speed per page according to the background color showed a tendency to accelerate in the white and green background as the reading time increased however, it was almost unchanged in the blue background and rather decelerated in the red background. On the other hand, the blinking rate per page tended to decrease in all background as the reading time was increased however, the smallest reduction was shown in the red background. There was a correlation that the reading speed increased as the blinking rate decreased in all backgrounds and the best correlation was shown in the green background. Conclusions: From the results, a correlation between the increasing reading speed and the reducing blinking rate while reading paper book with same demand on accommodation and convergence was confirmed however, the change in blinking rate and reading speed was varied depending on the main wavelength of light. It might mean that the working speed and visual fatigue can be varied depending on the difference of main wavelength when doing near work. Thus, it can be suggested that the adjustment of working environment and conditions should be made according to the kind of required perception.
