34 are more likely to feel self-aware and reflective in brightly lit rooms (Steidle & Werth, 2014). Yet, exactly how bright and evenly distributed these lights are cannot be overlooked, as another study found that redesigning the lights in an office setting could reduce or increase discomfort from glare depending on both the illuminance and pattern of luminance in the lights (Geerdinck, Van Gheluwe, & Vissenberg, 2014). This suggests that even relatively small amendments to lighting design can change the comfort level of a workspace. More environmentally based research could even better answer questions about the efficacy of large lighting redesigns and how those redesigns impact the people occupying the spaces that they are in. This could be especially interesting if the connections between lighting and circadian rhythms were more effectively integrated into the built environment, with modulated lighting for different tasks across the different times of the day in order to create the most optimal setting for the designated task. Lighting design could also be used in a more personal way, making sure that comfortable spaces are actually relaxing. These small changes, possible by just switching out a lightbulb, should not be overlooked. Subjective enjoyment of a comfortable environment is always worth pursuing. 4.4 Conclusion In short, this study sought to investigate the effects of lighting condition on attention, mood, and stress and theorized that three separate lighting conditions would influence participant’s emotions, sustained attention, and physiological stress. Although there were no statistically significant results, there were some measures that had the expected numerical pattern, specifically the pattern of results on the CCPT reaction times and omission errors that indicated that being in the SAD condition reduced participants’ ability to pay attention. Further investigations should be made in this vein in order to determine if the results from this study were due to limitations or if they indicate a larger pattern of null results.PDF Image | The Effects of Lighting Design on Mood, Attention, and Stress
