Abstract Previous studies have indicated that lighting design has an impact on mood, attention, and stress. This thesis sought to compare three lighting conditions, one bright, white light designed to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), one dim, 450nm blue light, also potentially affective for treating SAD, and a dim, warm light (Control), to see what their effects would be on these constructs. It was hypothesized that the bright SAD lamp would negatively affect attention and heighten stress compared to the control and blue light conditions. It was also hypothesized that the SAD and blue light conditions would decrease negative mood compared to the control condition. Participants from Reed College (N=11) participated in three separate sessions, (one for each lighting condition) over a span of three weeks, one session per week. Participants answered the Profile of Mood States-Short Form (POMS-SF), to measure emotion, the Conjunctive Continuous Performance Task (CCPT) to measure sustained attention, and changes in heart rate were assessed to measure stress reduction. Results showed no statistically significant changes across lighting conditions but did show a numeric trend as predicted in some aspects of the CCPT. This pattern of results could be explained by various methodological limitations, or a genuine lack of effects of these lighting conditions on mood, attention, and stress.PDF Image | The Effects of Lighting Design on Mood, Attention, and Stress
