had a domino effect, also influencing their attention and feelings of stress. Maybe their heightened mood also heightened their attention and lowered their stress levels, skewing the data. It is also possible that effects of lighting condition cannot be found in samples that do not predominantly include participants with SAD. If participants do not have SAD in the first place it is reasonable to assume that their mood, attention, and stress would be less likely to change, meaning that those without SAD could possibly be unaffected by these various lighting conditions. 4.3 Broader Implications Overall, it is still important to continue researching the effects of light on human behavior and cognition, especially if previous studies are methodologically flawed. It is relevant to study the effects of blue light in this technologically-driven age to continue to research the effects of the devices that we use each and every day. This is especially true in light of evidence that because of the light they emit they can possibly affect not only our mood, but also our sleep cycles. Interference in our biological mechanisms could cause dysregulation that affects multiple aspects of our lives, including but not limited to increase in stress, decrease in energy, and increase in negative mood (Ting & Malhotra, 2005). In order to avoid these affects careful analysis should be done to determine the best way to evade these repercussions. There are other practical reasons for these investigations as well, outside of the technological. There should be further inquiry into lighting’s effects in the built environment to see if it is possible to increase the productivity of an office or a school by modulating lighting for specific tasks. A previous study suggested that a dim, warm lighting condition specifically for relaxing in a classroom actually made children fidget less and act less aggressively, even though they were not consciously aware of their change in behavior (Wessolowski, Koenig, Schulte-Markwort, & Barkmann, 2014). Indicating that even if it was unconscious there was an observable change in behavior due to the classroom’s lighting. However, this relaxed atmosphere may not be as appropriate for doing schoolwork as a brighter light condition. Prior research has shown that people 33PDF Image | The Effects of Lighting Design on Mood, Attention, and Stress
