EFFECT OF MOOD LIGHTING ON HUMAN EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOR

Abstract

Lighting is a fundamental element in interior design, exerting a profound influence on human emotions and behavior. Mood lighting, in particular, is a specialized form of lighting aimed at crafting specific atmospheres within spaces. This research endeavors to investigate the impact of mood lighting on human emotions and behavior. The study adopts a mixed-methods research design, encompassing a literature review, case studies, and an empirical investigation. The literature review delves into the historical evolution of mood lighting and its various types, elucidating their effects on human emotions and behavior. Through case studies, the paper showcases practical applications of mood lighting across diverse sectors.The heart of this research lies in its empirical study, where findings from a survey administered to 100 participants aged 18 to 65 are presented. This survey evaluates participants' emotional responses and behavioral patterns under different lighting conditions, including bright white light, warm white light, cool white light, and colored lighting. Rigorous statistical analysis techniques, including ANOVA and regression analysis, will be employed to analyze the collected data. The study's results will illuminate the substantial impact of mood lighting on human emotions and behavior, providing valuable insights for professionals like designers, architects, and engineers to effectively utilize mood lighting in crafting desired atmospheres within interior spaces.
