dc.description.abstract | Colour as an effective design tool influences people’s emotions in interior
spaces. Depending on the assumption that colour has an impact on human
psychology, this study stresses the need for further studies that comprise colour
and emotion association in interior space in order to provide healthier spaces
for inhabitants. Emotional reactions to colour in a living room were investigated
by using self report measure. Pure red, green and blue were chosen to be
investigated as chromatic colours, whereas gray was the achromatic colour used
as a control variable. The study was conducted at Bilkent University in Ankara,
Turkey. Hundred and eighty people from various ages and academic
departments participated in the study. Participants first watched a short video
showing an overlook of a 3D model of a living room. Next, they were asked to
match the distinct coloured living rooms with facial expressions of six basic
emotions that covers anger, disgust, surprise, happiness, fear, sadness and in
addition with neutral. The results of the study indicated that the most stated
emotions associated for the room with red walls were disgust and happiness,
while the least stated emotions were sadness, fear, anger, and surprise. Neutral
and happiness were the most stated emotions for the room with green walls and
anger, surprise, fear and sadness were the least stated ones. The most stated
emotion associated for the room with blue walls was neutral, while the least
stated emotions were anger and surprise. Neutral, disgust and sadness were the
most stated emotions for the room with gray walls. Gender differences were not
found in human emotional reactions to living rooms with different wall colours. | en_US |
